Kings Canyon National Park in California testifies to nature’s size, beauty and diversity with huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns and the world’s largest trees. The park lies side-by-side to Sequoia National Park in the southern Sierra Nevada. This Veterans Day, you can visit to all national parks, wildlife refuges and other public lands for free.
