Before embarking on the visit to Sequoia National Park, the tour group I belonged to went to Kings Canyon National Park, which is adjacent to Sequoia. We hiked in Grant Grove, which featured the noted Grant Sequoia, and later we went to the bottom of Kings Canyon via the Scenic Byway. It is one of the most terrifying roads in the United States, as Kings Canyon is the deepest canyon in North America, reaching depths up to 8,200 feet. Thankfully, we had a highly skilled, experienced, and BRAVE driver, and, as somebody who is prone to panic attacks on steep mountain roads, I was never afraid. The bottom of the canyon is quite beautiful and reminiscent of Yosemite National Park.
