Serene moments in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks with Mountain Trekking Adventures❄️🌲🏡😍✨🤍

YOU WILL BE AMAZED how MANY PEOPLE (and penguins) it takes to WRAP AROUND a GIANT SEQUOIA 🤯🌲🤗🌲

Wait for it…WAIT FOR ITTT🫣😱🤯😂!!! YOU WONT BELIEVE what we found inside this 2,000 year old tree🌲👀

You WONT BELIEVE how MASSIVE this TREE IS🤯🌲😱🫨😲😁!!! The General Grant is the second largest tree in the world! It’s stands almost 270 ft tall and it’s 108 ft around its base!! It’s also the only living ‘National Shrine’ in the USA. It can be found in Grant Grove in Kings Canyon National Park.

MASSIVE FLOOD of the STEEPEST RIVER in North America🤯🌊🙀💦😵‍💫🌧️ In this video, you can see all four of the main tributaries of the Kaweah River. This magnificent watershed flows uninterrupted from 13,000 ft peaks in Sequoia National Park to the Lake Kaweah which sits at just over 800 ft. This makes for spectacular rapids and waterfalls. At one point the torrents of water cascade 10,000 ft in just twenty miles! I went all around the town of Three Rivers and as far as I could into Sequoia National Park before they closed the roads. It rained 5” in twelve hours and was so warm it melted tons of snow. Three important bridges were destroyed, stranding hundreds of people…It was nothing like I had ever seen before. This was exactly one year ago March 10, 2023.

ONE of the MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE in the HISTORY of SEQUOIA AND KINGS CANYON National Parks💯👏🏼🤩🫡 Charles Young (March 12, 1864 – January 8, 1922) was the third African-American graduate of the United States Military Academy, the first Black U.S. national park superintendent, first Black military attaché, first Black man to achieve the rank of colonel in the United States Army, and highest-ranking black officer in the Regular Army until his death in 1922. Young’s military career flourished in the cavalry. In 1903, while serving as a Captain of an all-Black regiment at San Francisco’s Presidio, he was asked to take his troops to Sequoia and General Grant national parks (what is now Sequoia National Park and a small portion of Kings Canyon National Park). Here, he became acting superintendent for the summer. On May 20, ninety-six enlisted men of troops I and M of the 9th Cavalry, known as Buffalo Soldiers, departed San Francisco for their new assignments at the parks. At that time, Sequoia and General Grant national parks were thirteen years old but they were still relatively undeveloped and difficult to access. Park management became the responsibility of the US Army beginning in 1891, and for the next ten summers they worked to stop the poaching of wildlife, illegal logging, and sheep grazing. Beginning in 1900, however, Congress authorized $10,000 annually to aid the parks with increasing access. The Army began improving an old wagon road that went to the Giant Forest from what is now Three Rivers, California. Colonel Young created many routes and roads that are still used today! On November 1, 2021, Charles Young was honorably and posthumously promoted to Brigadier General! “Indeed, a journey through this park and the Sierra Forest Reserve to the Mount Whitney country will convince even the least thoughtful man of the needfulness of preserving these mountains just as they are, with their clothing of trees, shrubs, rocks, and vines, a

CAN YOU GUESS the ONLY 3 places redwoods grow on planet earth🌲🤔🤯😱🏔️‼️?!? 1. Coastal Redwoods or Sequoia Sempervirens can be seen along the northern California coast, spilling into southwestern Oregon. Unfortunately almost 95% of these redwoods were cut down over the last 150 years. The tallest tree in the world, the Hyperion tree, standing at over 380ft tall can be found there. 2. Giant Sequoias or Sequoiadendron Giganteum grow in the Sierra Nevada mountains in central California. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are home to 7 of the 10 largest (by volume) trees, including the biggest in the world the General Sherman. 3. Dawn Redwoods or Metasequoia Glyptostroboides were thought to be extinct until 1941 when they were found in ??? Unlike most conifers, they shed their leaves in the fall. To find out the location where you can visit them you have to watch the whole video😋!!!
