Hi from San Diego, soon to be in Sequoia/Kings Canyon

[Guinevere73]

Hi all, I'm going to Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP the last week in June. Since I've never been, I'm all ears (or should I say eyes) on pointers, suggestions, etc. We'll be staying in Three Rivers. We want to do some hiking, horseback riding, and see the sites. Thoughts on altitude, weather, bugs, must-see areas, specific recommendations in general about that time of year?

Thanks!

Havent been to Kings canyon, but just wanted to say welcome to the site. I used to live in San Diego, El Cajon, Santee, La Mesa area. Hope you have a good trip.

Wild tour at Crystal Cave
Buck Rock fire lookout
Redwood Canyon - Heart Tree
Grant Grove area is less crowded - horse ride from there was very enjoyable.
No memory of bugs - they don't like me.
Stump Alley

Hummmm - maybe I need to get back there for a visit as it has been some years.

Have fun!

Thanks DC, yeah I'm an IB native. Not sure if I'll ever leave. Looking forward to getting lots of good info from everyone on this site.

Felicia, thanks for the recs, I had some of those on my list and am glad I'm on the right track!
