Hiking Sequoia/King Canyon National Parks

iOS Universal

Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park are companion parks in California’s Southern Sierra Mountains. These parks provide visitors with many, many views of the incredible, giant sequoias. Additionally, the park's high country gives visitors the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful mountains in the Unites States including the highest peak in the lower 48 states, Mount Whitney. For those wishing to hike in these unique parks, this app is for you.

It provides easy-to-use day hike information for more than 60 hikes in the parks. Whether you want to see the giants like the General Grant Tree or the General Sherman Tree or hike to the top of Alta Peak, this app has easy to strenuous hikes.

The hiking maps are included inside the app, so there is no downloading of files when you are ready to hike. All the maps can be panned and zoomed to make it easier to read.

Features for each hike:
-trailhead information
-hiking distances
-elevation change
-trail difficulty
-trail rating
-trail description

The app also includes climate and weather information, so you can plan your adventure for the right time of year.
