From the Author Of all the superlatives lavished upon national parks, only Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks can claim the highest, deepest and largest. The highest peak in the lower-48 states, Mount Whitney, towers over the Sierra Nevada from the eastern edge; the deepest canyon in the country has been carved over millennia through granite and marble by the mighty Kings River; and the largest living individual beings on earth, Giant Sequoias, gracefully cast dappled shadow and sunlight over verdant meadows. The best part is that these are your parks, open to everyone! I researched this book as a naturalist ranger, then as a regular tourist, and now as a mom, to create each itinerary and experience. This book is a love letter to the astounding beauty, in every season, of these wild parks. It's also a letter to you, imploring you to get out an explore. Paved trails, scenic drives, and rangertalks have been approved by two grandmas! Rugged climbs and backpacking trips are endorsed by ranger buddies and fellow hikers! Delicious meals, artsy beers,and cozy cabins create comfortable bookends to full days of breathtaking views and heart-stopping drives. Whether you seek solitude in a remote sequoia grove or crave companionship on a night snowshoe hike, you'll find clear recommendations and resources in this book. Why do you need to buy a copy when so much is on the internet? There is hardly any cell service or Wi-Fi in the parks. And this is the freshest, most up-to-date volume for this area, written by someone who lived, swam, breathed there. And thanks to the experts at Moon Travel, every detail has been triple-checked. This book is only the start to your adventure. I hope you find what defines your life, your soul, your relationship with the greater world in this wondrous place. Wishing you safe and happy travels in "America's Best
