Sequoia National Park
This area consists of two parks side by side, the Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park. Covering the land are towering mountains, canyons and the world's largest trees. Summer offers the most activities and runs from June to September. Even if you only have a few hours, you can experience the beauty of this area with a hike to the General Sherman Tree, the largest, single-trunk living tree on earth. If you want to spend the day, you can experience the Crystal Cave Tour, a half-mile walk to the cave with stalactites and naturally polished marble.

Kaweah Whitewater Adventures
Kaweah Whitewater Adventures offers tours every year from April through June in three varying difficulties. Trips leave in the morning, afternoon, or for a full day on the Kaweah River. The company and guides are local with close ties to the community. Therefore, they are the most experienced guides with real river experience. The Kaweah is a natural river, meaning rainfall and melted snow entirely control the flow of the water.
