Tulare County is located in central California between Kern and Fresno Counties. Kings County is to the west and Inyo County to the east. The terrain ranges from about 300′ above sea level in the San Joaquin Valley to 14,500′, a peak called Mount Whitney, the highest point in the continental United States. We are about two hours from the coast (Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, etc.) and about an hour from Sequoia National Park (Home of the General Sherman Tree, the tallest in the world) located in Tulare County. We are also an hour away from Kings Canyon National Park, home of the General Grant Tree, the largest in the world. The General Grant Tree is also known as the National Christmas Tree.
