The national parks portfolio . grow within the parks narrow confines,many of them mere babes of a few hundred years, many sturdy youths of athousand years, many in the young vigor of two or three thousand years, anda few in full maturity. The principal entrance is Visalia, California. Half a dozen miles away is the General Grant National Park, whose foursquare miles were set apart because they contained the General Grant Tree,second only in size and age to the patriarch of all, the General Sherman Sequoias favored slopes grow other monsters also. It is the park ofnagnificent trees of many kinds, and it is the park of birds. The Sequoia National Park is the gateway to one of the grandest scenicireas in this or any other land. Over its borders to the north and east liesI land of sublime nobility whose wild rivers and tortuous canyons, whoselacier-carved precipices and vast snowy summits culminating in the supremedtitude of Whitney, will make it some day surpassed in celebrity by none.
