Top 4 Sights at Kings Canyon National Park
Kings Canyon National Park is not as well known as its neighbor, but the canyon and the big trees are beautiful and with less crowds. This is the deepest canyon in the national parks, deeper than Grand Canyon.
This is a short video on the top 4 attractions at Kings Canyon National Park easily accessible by car.

I made this trip in June 2018. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

Generals Highway Northbound - Sequoia National Park, Sequoia NF, Kings Canyon National Park
Traveling over the whole Generals Highway, crossing Sequoia National Park, Sequoia National Forest and Kings Canyon National Park. The video shows Generals Highway northbound - from the Ash Mountain entrance to Sequoia National Park to the Big Stump entrance (exit) to Kings Canyon National Park.
Generals Highway - this is its proper spelling - is a 52.3-kilometer (32.5-mile) Californian highway connecting Highway 198 and Highway 180. It is one of the most scenic roads in the United States - and, in my opinion, in the world. Generals Highway crosses the Sequoia National Park, the Giant Sequoia National Monument section of the Sequoia National Forest and Kings Canyon National Park.

Kings Canyon and Seqouia National Park - California, USA
Kings Canyon National Park is a national park in the southern Sierra Nevada, in Fresno and Tulare Counties, California in the United States. Originally established in 1890 as General Grant National Park, it was greatly expanded and renamed to Kings Canyon National Park on March 4, 1940. Its namesake, Kings Canyon, is a rugged glacier-carved valley more than a mile deep; the park also includes multiple 14,000-foot peaks, high mountain meadows, swift-flowing rivers, and some of the world's largest stands of giant sequoia trees. Kings Canyon is north of and contiguous with Sequoia National Park, and the two are jointly administered by the National Park Service as the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
The majority of the 461,901-acre park, drained by the Middle and South Forks of the Kings River and many smaller streams, is designated wilderness. Tourist facilities are concentrated in two areas: Grant Grove, home to General Grant (the second largest tree in the world, measured by trunk volume) and Cedar Grove/Kanawyers, located in the heart of Kings Canyon. Overnight travel is required to access most of the park's backcountry, or high country, which for much of the year is covered in deep snow. The combined Pacific Crest Trail/John Muir Trail, a popular backpacking route, traverses the entire length of the park from north to south.
General Grant National Park was initially created to protect a small area of giant sequoias from logging. Although John Muir's visits brought public attention to the huge wilderness area to the east, it took more than fifty years for the rest of Kings Canyon to be designated a national park. Environmental groups, park visitors and many local politicians wanted to see the area preserved; however, development interests wanted to build hydroelectric dams in the canyon. Even after President Franklin D. Roosevelt expanded the park in 1940, the fight continued until 1965, when the Cedar Grove and Tehipite Valley dam sites were finally annexed into the park.
As visitation rose post-World War II, further debate took place over whether the park should be developed as a tourist resort, or retained as a more natural environment restricted to simpler recreation such as hiking and camping. Ultimately, the preservation lobby prevailed and today, the park has only limited services and lodgings despite its size. Due to this and the lack of road access to most of the park, Kings Canyon remains the least visited of the major Sierra parks, with just over 600,000 visitors in 2016 compared to 1.2 million visitors at Sequoia and over 5 million at Yosemite.
Seqouia National Park is famous for its giant sequoia trees, including the General Sherman tree, the largest tree on Earth. The General Sherman tree grows in the Giant Forest, which contains five out of the ten largest trees in the world. The Giant Forest is connected by the Generals Highway to Kings Canyon National Park's General Grant Grove, home to the General Grant tree among other giant sequoias. The park's giant sequoia forests are part of 202,430 acres of old-growth forests shared by Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Indeed, the parks preserve a landscape that still resembles the southern Sierra Nevada before Euro-American settlement.

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks em 1 dia
Dentre as melhores coisas para se ver nos Estados Unidos estão os seus deslumbrantes Parques Nacionais. Saiba que, se estiver na Califórnia, pode, em um dia, visitar dois deles: o Kings Canyon e o Sequoia National Park. Neles, vocês podem ver árvores gigantes, com sequoias e red woods, como a General Grant e a General Sherman, e também um cânion de tirar o fôlego.
Começamos a nossa visita pelo Kings Canyon, e a primeira parada foi o General Grant Grove. Ele é um bosque com um monte de sequóias. Sequóias infinitas, sequóias para se perder de vista! Grandes, altas, grossas, largas, tem de todo tipo.
O que mais nos chamou a atenção foram sequóias ocas que caíram e formaram túneis pelos quais é possível passar. Já imaginou estar dentro de uma árvore gigante? Pois é! Muito bacana.
Mas a atração principal do bosque e que dá o seu nome é a simpática General Grant, que é a árvore com o tronco mais largo do mundo. Quer abraçá-la e não tem braços elásticos? Então precisaria de, em média, 20 pessoas para conseguir essa façanha. Ela é grossa mesmo!
Depois, pegamos uma estrada de mais ou menos 1h e meia pelo Kings Canyon Scenic Byway. Nela, a gente tem visões do cânion em si, por onde passa o Kings River. Na ida é difícil parar, mas, na volta, não deixe de conferir os mirantes.
No nosso ponto de chegada, logo após o Cedar Grove, temos uma pequena trilha, que tem algumas árvores, dentre as quais redwoods, e também uma ponte que passa por cima do Kings River, com uma visão das boas. Aproveite a paisagem!
Tudo isso para que chegemos no deslumbrante Zumwalt Meadow. Definitivamente, é a parte mais cênica e bela do vale do Kings Canyon. A trilha, que passa no meio de prados verdejantes, permite vislumbrar enormes paredes em grandes montanhas, sentindo sempre o rio ao lado, incessantemente correndo, dando vida ao lugar e fazendo um barulho tão agradável... assim é esse lugar. É um ponto para se apreciar e para agradecer pela perfeição da natureza.
Depois, o capítulo é o da volta dos que foram. A única opção é voltar pelo mesmo caminho. Pegamos a estrada de volta, mas, dessa vez, parando bastante. O objetivo era ir para o Sequoia National Park. Vimos um veado atravessando a rua!
Chegamos, então, em nossa parada no parque, que foi o General Sherman Grove. Nosso objetivo era ver a árvore mais fofinha de todas, a General Sherman, que é a mais volumosa e pesada do mundo! Existem outras mais altas, outras mais largas e até mais velhas, porém nenhuma é tem mais massa! É o que dizem! A trilha é muito interessante porque ela começa na altura da árvore e vai descendo. No meio do caminho, há placas indicando em que altura da árvore você está.
E, olha só! Essa é a tal da General Sherman. Não é que dá vontade de abraçar? A gente ficou dançando na frente dela, foi muito bom! Realmente, e pra entrar em contato com a natureza MESMO!
Pois é, era para ainda vermos um mirante, o do Moro Rock, mas a gente se empolgou demais e o sol já estava se despedindo. Excelente dia, recomendamos que vocês façam o mesmo, vão gostar!

Exploring Kings Canyon National Park California | Snakes at Mist Falls (Road Trip)
On today's road trip we are heading to explore and hike the Kings Canyon National Park in Sequoia Forest, California. Last night we were camping just outside the national park so on the doorstep of the King's Canyon.
We start of the day by going to the second largest tree in Grant Woods before heading on to mist falls and hiking through the King's Canyon. The Mist falls trail lead to Mist Falls which is the main water fall at the end of the Scenic Byway road that runs through the Kings Canyon.
This hike turned out to be very eventful with encounters of snakes and slippery rocks.
Incase you missed my previous video for the start of this trip:

Kings Canyon National Park Scenic Drive
King Canyon Scenic Byway (CA Highway 180) takes you to the heart of Kings Canyon National Park. The vistas along the way is truly breath-taking. Although 180 stretches all the way from Fresno, we started at the Grant Grove Ranger Station.
We encourage everyone to take your time and stop often to take in the beauty along the drive. The only gas station on this stretch is at Kings Canyon Lodge from old -style visible cylinder gas pumps. Cool.
