Some of the most majestic landscape

views in California are the great California

Redwood and Sequoia trees. These trees
can be seen up close at Sequoia National
Park in the southern Sierra
Nevada mountain range, of Visalia. This
central California region boasts more
than 400,000 acres of natural beauty that is
uniquely Californian. The park is known
as the Land of the Giants because of its
beautiful trees. The landscape
features great mountains, foothills, deep
canyons, a large cavern system, and, of
course, the world's largest trees.
The park sits side by side with King's
Canyon National Park in the stunning San
Joaquin Valley. Sequoia National Park was
officially established as a national park in the
1890s. It features 14 campsites that include
picnic tables, fire rings for outdoor
cooking, and food storage boxes. It is a
great place for a family vacation with many
of its campsites open year round. But the
most popular attractions are its forests. The
ancient trees are some of the oldest living
organisms on earth, and draw millions of
visitors worldwide. Redwood trees can
reach heights of more than 375 feet. They
are closely related to the Giant Sequoia
trees, and are often mistaken for each
other. They both are uniquely Californian, as
they do not grow naturally in any other
region in the world.
Redwood trees live up to 2,000
years, and have branches that grow up
to five feet in diameter. Its bark can grow up
to 12 inches thick. The Giant Sequoia
trees can live up to an astonishing 3,000
years, and have branches up to eight feet in
diameter. Its bark can grow to an amazing
thickness of three feet. Both trees have dark
brown bark, and look very similar, but the
Redwood thrives in coastal climate, while
the Sequoia exists in more mountainous
areas. In either case, they are a must-
see California attraction.
