As home to the highest summit in the lower 48 and the largest tree (by volume) on the planet, Sequoia & Kings Canyon offer some sincerely incredible hiking opportunities and one-of-a-kind views. Situated a manageable three-and-a-half-hour drive from Los Angeles, these parks are often overlooked in favor of their Free Solo-famous sibling, Yosemite, but if you ask a local, they’re every bit as stunning and far less crowded.
Spanning a scenic length of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, which encompasses the Great Western Divide, these two parks have been managed as one unit since the 1940s, and they’re home to powerful waterfalls, craggy high-altitude peaks, and some jaw-droppingly huge conifers. However, their remote location can prove to be a challenge for visitors seeking luxe, high-quality lodging options nearby. Thankfully, we’ve done the work for you and created a list of the best lodging near Sequoia & Kings Canyon with something for everyone–from riverfront villas to rustic cabins to chic tiny homes.
