Sequoia National Park: Camping, Rafting, and Hiking
Price: $250
OVERVIEW
There’s something magical about Sequioa National Park. It’s a wonderland covered by ancient forests, soaring domes, stone canyons, and rivers that roar or ripple, depending on the season. Sequioa National Park is named for earth’s largest living things — Sequioadendron giganteum, or giant sequioas. Their massive, cinnamon-hued trunks and stout limbs soar skyward only here, on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range, between 5,000 and 8,200 feet. The General Sherman Tree, the largest tree in the world, can be found here.
Located just outside of Sequioa National Park, the Kaweah River is the steepest river in the lower 48 United States. It drops an amazing 12,000 feet in 20 miles. In its last 10 miles, the river offers continuous thrilling Class IV+ rapids with a scenic alpine backdrop of snowcapped mountains.
