Formed when pressure within the earth's crust fractured the eastern granite block of California and tilted westward in a series of uplifts to create the Sierra Nevada, California's "backbone", is today one of the world's longest continuous mountain ranges. Racing streams cut through the newly uplifted rock carved steep canyons. Later, glaciers sculpted out hanging valleys and deep U-shaped canyons.

Native peoples have traveled the forests of the Sequoias since prehistoric time. Inhabitants included the Monaches, Potwishas, Wuksachis and Tubatulabals.

In 1827, trappers and explorers began to arrive through the lofty passes and deep valleys on either side of the Sierra. The gold rush of 1849 drew thousands of people to California, searching for mineral wealth and beginning the exploration of the mountains.

In 1877, John Muir climbed Converse Basin and discovered a sawmill established to process lumber from the Sequoia groves prompting a strong lobbying effort to save the trees. President Benjamin Harrison signed the bill in 1890 that established Sequoia National Park as California's first national park and the United States second National Park.

Today, Sequoia National Park is home to the General Sherman Tree, at 2.7 million pounds, by volume the largest living tree on earth . Mt. Whitney crowning the Sierra Nevada, at 14,494 feet, is the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States. Other attractions include trails for every level of hiker from beginner to advanced, Crystal Cave, Moro Rock, fishing, horseback riding, alpine meadows and lakes.
