Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park

It was a little early in the season to visit Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park as many roads and attractions were still closed. However the sites to the Giant Sequoia trees were open. The Giant Sequoia trees may not be as tall as the Redwood trees along the California coast, but they are definitely larger by volume, and diameter.
