Two of the world's oldest and largest trees are safeguarded in these parks.
While other parks may attract more visitors due to their better hiking and camping facilities
nothing compares to the awe and wonder of being beneath a big sequoia that is 3,200 years old.
Imagining a time when humans had no impact on Earth and nature was in charge is simple here.
Only in a few places throughout the world do these trees reach such a colossal size
the United States is fortunate to have the largest and best collection.
It takes around four hours to go to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks from either San Francisco or Los Angeles.
