Kings Canyon National Park

While visiting family in California we took a short trip to Kings Canyon National Park which is just over an hour from Sanger (where we stay while in California) in the southern Sierra Nevada. My grandparents took me to the park when I was very young and I have very fond memories of the trip.

Beware . . . you are about to see a lot of pictures of trees!

The park is famous for the General Grant tree which is a Giant Sequoia and the second largest tree in the world. President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed it the "Nation's Christmas Tree" back in 1926.
