It’s not surprising that during the busiest visitation month of the year, there would be a lot happening at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

This week, 3RiversNews.com ventured up canyon to Ash Mountain headquarters to visit Sintia Kawasaki-Yee, the public information officer for Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

Sintia announces the release of the local parks’ first app for digital device users and furnishes updates on visitation numbers, road construction, a cool new soundscape exhibit at Grant Grove, the Dark Skies Festival kickoff event at REI in Fresno, and lots more.

Sintia’s supervisor calls her an Ash Mountain “rock star.” Check out the 3R News video and see why.
