| Sequoia National Park is an unspoiled treasure of some of the most striking scenery in the world. Most visitors come only to see some sequoias, but these trees are found in only a relatively small area. Sequoia is half of a combined unit of two National Parks, administered together - the other is Kings Canyon to the north. Sequoia National Park, America's second national park, was created on September 25, 1890, by president Benjamin Harrison. One week later, General Grant National Park was created by Congress to protect the grove of giant sequoias, including the General Grant Tree, the second largest tree in the world. Thanks to the work of John Muir and other early conservationists, the natural beauty of Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks has been preserved from the depths of the Kings Canyon to the summit of Mount Whitney in Sequoia National Park. |
