Between them, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks contain some of the oldest trees on the planet…and just standing in their presence is a humbling experience. Many of these ancient wooden giants have been on Earth for 3,000 years and there are even a couple of trees where you can actually drive your car through. There are some gorgeous hiking trails here in addition to a small number of campsites. If you’re on a road trip, try to allocate a reasonable amount of time to explore these wonderful parks.
