Southern Sierra Introduction

Southern Sierra Introduction

The Southern Sierra in and around Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks is lofty, grandiose and mystical. The valleys sink away tremedously in a region that is home to the biggest trees on Earth. A rich network of waterways unfolds in the Southern Sierra. The earth here holds secrets of its own, tucked away deep in the canyons within. Just miles away from the slick, solid granite canyons to the east, a canyon with white marble walls reveals itself only to the committed canyoneer.
