Where Can I...
Please read important park alerts by clicking the red tab above before you come to the parks. When you visit this area, you pass through lands that may have different regulations, because they are managed by two different agencies - the National Park Service (NPS) and the US Forest Service (USFS). Driving between Lodgepole in Sequoia National Park and Grant Grove in Kings Canyon National Park, you pass through Sequoia National Forest. The same is true when you drive from Grant Grove to Cedar Grove.
