If you were to look at California as a whole and how much of it is built along the Pacific Ocean, along with the amount of Megalopolis cities you would realize the Sequoia is easily bypassed. The park has two entrances: one coming from the Northwest through Kings Canyon and the other through Three Rivers from the Southwest. The park is lush with nature but greatly isolated from civilization. Although the soil in these mountain areas is deep and rich it is hard for any sort of farming to survive these cold climates, other than the large redwood and pine trees that live in the area. This is one reason the park was protected from having a mass number of people destroy it. The Act To save America’s Forests was created to protect many parks from deforestation which has helped to keep the Sequoia redwoods from going extinct. Mining is also very rare in the park because it is a national park which means that the state government protects it, however there are a few gold mining sites that can be found. Fishing is not a huge hobby for park goers considering the only fish to be got in these mountains is an array of trout, but many of them are river trout which do not get big enough to even eat. Due to the lack of resources to produce farming agriculture this beautiful mountain area has remained isolated and often bypassed by many civilians.
