ארצות הברית
Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, California
סקוויה וקניון קינגס הם שני פארקים תאומים המאוחדים על ידי גיאוגרפיה, מנוהלים במשותף, ובכל זאת שונים באופן עמוק באופיים—אחד מוגדר על ידי הדברים החיים הגדולים ביותר על פני כדור הארץ, והשני על ידי אחד הקניונים העמוקים ביותר בצפון אמריקה. יחד, הם מגנים על יותר מ-1,300 מיילים רבועים של דרום סיירה נבאדה, מהגבעות המנוקדות באלונים בגובה 1,500 רגל ועד לפסגת גרניט של הר וויטני בגובה 14,505 רגל—הנקודה הגבוהה ביותר בארצות הברית היבשתית. הפארקים פחות מבוקרים מאשר השכן המפורסם שלהם בצפון, יוסמיטי, והבדידות היחסית הזו היא אחת מהסגולות הגדולות ביותר שלהם.
פארק סקוויה הלאומי, שהוקם בשנת 1890 כפארק הלאומי השני של המדינה, קיים בעיקר כדי להגן על הסקוויה הענקית—היצורים המסיביים ביותר שהיו אי פעם על פני כדור הארץ. עץ הגנרל שרמן, המתנשא לגובה של 275 רגל עם היקף של 102 רגל בבסיסו, הוא העץ הגדול ביותר בנפח על פני הפלנטה—יצור חי שגדל במשך יותר מ-2,200 שנים. הליכה בין הענקים ביער הענק, שבו מאות סקוויות עומדות במבנים, היא חוויה מבלבלת: העצים כל כך גדולים שהמוח מתקשה לעבד את הממדים שלהם. הקליפה, ספוגית וסיבית, מגיעה לעובי של עד שני רגלים ומשמשת כא insulation נגד האש, שהיא חיונית למחזור הרבייה של הסקוויה—קשר אקולוגי שהגדיר מחדש כיצד הפארק מנהל שריפות יער.
פארק קינגס קניון הלאומי, בצפון, מחליף את הסופרלטיבים הביולוגיים בסופרלטיבים גיאולוגיים. קניון קינגס עצמו, שנחצב על ידי נהר קינגס דרך גרניט וסלעים מטמורפיים, מגיע לעומק מקסימלי של למעלה מ-2,500
