Living in central California is an incredible advantage for mountain adventures! Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in the Sierra Nevada Mountains are right in our own 'backyard'! These two neighboring parks are only about 1.5 hours east of Fresno. Filled with majestic peaks, deep canyons, and the largest trees in the world, you could spend several days here. But, even if you have only one day, it's enough time to see some of the most scenic views in both parks!
