Cascading rivers, lofty peaks, and stands of giant sequoia trees constitute the landscape of Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Astounding natural beauty surrounds us as we hike along cascading waterfalls, mountain bike in the Sierra backcountry, learn to rock climb, whitewater raft down the tumbling Merced River or go horseback riding. This medley of activities highlights the best of these national wonders.
Your Itinerary
Days 1-2: Kings Canyon - Sequoia
We shuttle from Fresno to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

On our second day, after a hearty breakfast we hike through majestic stands of sequoia trees in Giant Forest and then via the High Sierra Trail to lush Crescent Meadow and, optionally, to Moro Rock. (B/L/D).

For an introduction to California's grandest park, we hike the spectacular Panaorama Trail, with cascading waterfalls, granite monoliths and magnificent views of the valley below.
