Three Rivers / Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks
The foothill village of Three Rivers is appreciated for its
own natural beauty, as well as being the gateway to the spectacular
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The ancient Giant
Forest with some of Earth's largest trees is awe inspiring.
The General Sherman Tree is more than 2,000 year old, 275 feet tall,
and still growing. Crystal Cave is a beautiful marble cavern
in Sequoia and can be visited during the summer. Kings Canyon
is the deepest canyon in North America and naturalist John Muir
thought of it as a "little Yosemite". These parks are very
user friendly with lots to see and easy trails in the "front
country'. More energetic hikers are rewarded with intense
beauty and vistas that seem to go on forever. The official
Kings Canyon website is on our "Links & Places" page. Bundle
up in the winter for snow play in the high sierras.Back
home here in the village of Three Rivers, annual events are kicked
off in April with our renowned Jazz Affair. Thousands of music
lovers travel from across the country to enjoy 3 solid days of
nonstop traditional jazz concerts, along with dancing, barbecues,
and the love of America's own unique music.
The roping follows that month and wranglers compete from all
over the West for prize money and the excitement of old time
horsemanship and cowboy camaraderie. The "pig scramble" on
Sunday is a community favorite.
Also in the Spring is the Redbud Craft Festival, bringing
local artisans together with handmade treasures including paintings,
photography, jewelry, gourds, weavings, and original music.
Many artists reside in Three Rivers and they open their homes and
studios for a special weekend in March, biennially. |
