Sequoia National Forest & Giant Sequoia National Monument

From November 2002-July 2007 I lived near the Sequoia National Forest part of which is now designated as Giant Sequoia National Monument.  The Sequoia National Forest is the southernmost forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California and it contains 38 groves of giant sequoias - more than Sequoia & Kings Canyon & Yosemite National Parks combined!  Sit back and enjoy a tour of my old neighborhood!

The Southern Sierra from Highway 190 near Springville Viewed from an elevation of just a few hundred feet, the relief is an impressive 10,000 feet and even more if you go up the road to Lindsay where you can see the Great Western Divide!
