Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, California
Why They're Cool: It’s impossible not to feel tiny standing next to giant sequoias. Like the sky-piercing trees that grow only in this part of the world, Sequoia’s scale is ancient and epic, and exploring this park is likely to expand your perspective on life. Waking up surrounded by scenery that's both massive and majestic will make you feel like you’re in a world of make believe. You'll enjoy day hiking through the forest and setting up camp in scenic solitude.
Where to Camp: There are 14 main campgrounds in Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Most campgrounds are first come, first served, but you can make reservations up to six months in advance. If you're looking for a more secluded area, most people car-camp, so pack your gear on your back and take one of the narrow paths to a private piece of grove. Or pitch your tent along the Kings River.
When It's Open: It's accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year, but July and August are the most popular months to visit.
Cost: You'll pay $30 if you drive or $15 for an individual pass; both are valid one to seven days. For more information, visit the park's website.
