Sequoia
is part of the Visalia-Tulare-Porterville metropolitan area in Tulare County in central California. The Sequoia National Forest covers an enormous area from the Kings River going southward to the Kern River and Piute Mountains and extends from the western Sierra Nevada foothills to the brush covered hills of the San Joaquin Valley. Just north of Sequoia lies the Kings Canyon National Forest and together both parks cover 865,000 acres. The most impressive attraction in the area is the trees, including the General Sherman Tree, which is the oldest living thing on Earth. Beautiful mountain scenery, unspoiled creeks and rivers, lakes and flowering meadows make up the rest of the terrain. White water rafting is popular on both the Kings and Kern Rivers, and there are over 800 miles of marked trails for hikers in the area! Other outdoors recreation includes swimming, fishing, boating, horseback riding and rock climbing. Wintertime offers opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding. Wuksachi Village is one of the newest attractions to the area and consists of a group of buildings made of cedar and stone and includes a lodge, full service restaurant and lounge, meeting and conference space, gift shop and 102 guestrooms. Sequoia offers outdoor fun and excitement and peaceful solitude for those seeking the tranquility only nature provides.
