The Giant Sequoia National Monument is located near the small town of Porterville, CA, which is almost smack-dab in the middle of this very long state. The nearest larger town is Visalia, at around 60 miles to the west. The park also sits about equidistant from the two large cities of San Jose and the Los Angeles metro area, at around 250 miles from each.

This part of the country is mountainous, forested, and known for being very scenic. The prime draw in this area is the outdoor recreational opportunities it makes available throughout the year. Hiking, camping, and scenic drives throughout the local forests are the main activities people enjoy engaging in here. The very large and very old redwood trees that are found here in California are the main attraction that people come to this region to see.
