I'm doing a project at school on Kings Canyon National Park. Whenever I look at articles on Kings Canyon it always says "and Sequoia." Are they the same park?
When I look for information about Kings Canyon National Park, I see it grouped with Sequoia. Why?

Not sure what answer you require. I can give you information on Sequoia The tree’s size is awesome: 300 feet [90 m] tall, 36 feet [11 m] in diameter, bark 2 feet [0.6 m] thick, roots spreading out over three or four acres [1.2 to 1.6 ha]. Yet, far more awesome is the chemistry and physics involved in its growth. Its leaves take water from the roots, carbon dioxide from the air, and energy from the sun to manufacture sugars and give off oxygen—a process called photosynthesis that involves some 70 chemical reactions, not all of which are understood. Amazingly, the first reaction depends upon light from the sun that is just the right color, the right wavelength; otherwise it would not be absorbed by the chlorophyll molecules to initiate the process of photosynthesis.
