Program Description:

In these two contiguous parks in California's Sierra Nevada, naturalist Sue Ellen discovers how the world's largest trees, the sequoias, have managed to survive, some for longer than recorded history. She sees the incredible power of snow melt which has carved North America's deepest canyon - Kings Canyon. In the dry foothills, she explores how the plants are adapted to surviving a long dry summer, and she watches as hungry bears climb the oak trees to feed on nutritious acorns.
