America’s National Parks provide visitors with a wide variety of activities and some stunning scenery, but some of them fill up with tourists during the summer months. If you’re looking for a quiet place where you can bask in the beauty of nature without the crowds, you might want to try Sequoia And Kings Canyon National Parks.

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are technically two separate parks, but because they're adjacent, most people visit both at the same time.

The best part about visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks? It's much less crowded than nearby Yosemite National Park. With only 600,000 annual visitors, compared to Yosemite's 1.2 million visitors, you're sure to find some solitude and peace here.
