Proximity to Sequoia National Park region
Sequoia National Park, established in 1890 and located about sixty miles east of Tulare, protects the world's largest trees and draws more than one million visitors annually.
Sequoia National Park was established on September 25, 1890, when President Benjamin Harrison signed legislation creating what became the second national park in America. It was the first national park created specifically to protect a living organism: the giant sequoia trees that grow in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The park spans thousands of square miles and contains some of the tallest and largest trees on Earth, many of which have stood for thousands of years.
The park's infrastructure was developed over more than a century, beginning with U.S. Army Cavalry troops in the 1890s who built early roads and trails. The Generals Highway, completed in 1926, opened access for visitors traveling from the valley floor. Today, over one and a half million people visit the park annually, hiking among ancient groves, camping in the backcountry, and viewing the Sierras from the nearby foothills and valley towns like Tulare.
Families and individuals from Tulare often have a personal connection to the mountains and parks nearby: a childhood hike, a family camping trip, a place in the landscape that matters to them. Thinking through what would matter most to your family, and how to protect those people and possibilities, is what a term insurance plan is designed for.
