It's hard to think of another wilderness destination that offers the variety of habitat types, wildlife and botanical diversity - and thus opportunities for the outdoors photographer - that can be found in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. Chaparral, amazing forests, treeless high-elevation vistas, deep canyons, rushing rivers...there's simply too much to list. On one of our trips we were leaving the park on the winding General's Highway when we turned a corner and found ourselves right next to a bear grazing not ten feet from the road (my wife stood on the seat, stuck her head out the sunroof and took video for several minutes, he was nearly oblivious to our presence but it was still probably not a good idea as no one wants a bear that is habituated to people). Of course the best part of this vast combination park is to get away from the road, trek deeper into the wilderness and savor the stunning images, not to mention capture them.
