- Waterproof - Tear-Resistant - Topographic Map Sequoia National Park is the second-oldest national park in the United States, established in 1890. The park is home to the world's largest living tree by volume, General Sherman Tree, and Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous United States. Kings Canyon National Park was established in 1940 and includes over 400,000 acres of wilderness. Although separate parks, Sequoia and Kings Canyon are managed as one entity and together total over 865,000 acres, the seventh largest by area in the lower 48. The Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park Day Hikes Topographic Map Guide contains detailed maps for 18 of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks' finest day hikes. It includes well-known hikes and some off-the-beaten-path trails. They range from easy strolls to strenuous climbs, selected to give you a sampling of all the park has to offer. Together, they cover over 100 miles of adventures. One-third of the selected hikes are less than 4 miles long, two-thirds are less than 8 miles, and two hikes are more than 9 miles long. Each of the 18 maps include directions to the trailhead, the total distance to complete the hike, and an estimate of the degree of difficulty. Also provided are elevations of key points on the trail, an elevation profile for the hike, and a calculation of the hike's total elevation gain. Concise trail descriptions will help you find the hikes that best suit your interests, conditioning, and available time. Every Trails Illustrated map is printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigation. Every map purchase helps support the National Geographic Society, an impact driven, nonprofit organization with global reach that uses the power of science, exploration, education, and storytelling to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. * Folded Size = 4.25" x 9.38"
