Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks - Part C
Dorst Creek CG - Sequoia National Park
August 10-12, 2009
Back to the 2009 Summer-Fall Travel Directory|
Kings Canyon NP contains the Grant Grove which has the
General Grant Sequoia and many others. Another big draw is the King Canyon
which has been carved by the King river. The park road starts at about 7,000 feet
and drops very fast to 3,000 feet. The Canyon has steep granite walls and is very
picturesque.
