Sequoia RV Ranch

The Great Outdoors

There are several national forests in California, and a couple can be found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains nearby. Sequoia National Forest is known for its huge trees. A 4,000-year-old bristlecone pine thought to be the oldest tree in the world is found in the forest, although its location is a guarded secret. You can trek through the wilderness or stay in one of the primitive campgrounds in this mountainous forest, or visit the adjoining Sequoia National Park, which, combined with the forest, makes up a few million acres of land. The General Sherman Tree at Sequoia National Park is one of its most legendary sequoia trees, and one of the largest trees in the world. This 2,000-year-old tree towers at over 270 feet tall.Kings Canyon National Park is situated next to Sequoia National Park, with a bounty of exciting ecosystems to explore. The impressive Kings Canyon itself is straddled by some of the steepest vertical drops in America, with lofty peaks like Mount Agassiz surrounding it. There are plenty of campgrounds, towering waterfalls, and mesmerizing landscapes to enjoy while hiking or biking through this stunning example of California beauty.On the other side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains lies one of the lowest elevation places in the country as well as one of the driest and hottest. The site of some of the world’s highest recorded temperatures, Death Valley National Park is also worth visiting while RV camping in Central CA. Fuel up the Three Rivers motorhome rental and embark on the sometimes-scenic four-hour drive to this waterless wasteland. Explore its sprawling salt flats and desert canyons, find a comfy seat and experience a stunning desert sunset, or seek out some of the park's unique plant life. Stay at one of the campgrounds in Death Valley and make this a multi-day adventure so you can traverse the hiking trails, go rock climbing, or cruise Badwater Road for some fantastic views of the valley.
