The Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National
Monument are named for the giant sequoia, the world's largest
tree. The landscape is as spectacular as its 38 groves of giant
sequoia. Majestic granite monoliths, glacier-torn canyons,
roaring whitewater, and lush meadows await your discovery at the
southern end of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.
