This booklet is issued once a year, and the rates mentioned herein may have changed slightly since issuance, but the latest rates approved by the Secretary of the Interior are on file with the superintendent.
GENERAL GRANT NATIONAL PARK
In close proximity is General Grant National Park. Although its area is small, only 4 square miles, it contains two magnificent groves of big trees, including the famous General Grant Tree, dedicated several years ago as the Nation's Christmas Tree. The visitor will miss a treat unless he takes the loop around the two parks by way of the Generals Highway.
Services and accommodations similar to those at Sequoia are available.
A circular of information on General Grant National Park is published by the National Park Service and may be obtained at either park headquarters.
