Beautiful drives through curving, switchback roads. Trees big enough to build a cabin in. Hiking, picnic areas. The walk to see the General Sherman tree is quite taxing, especially for anyone with knee problems. A steep walk on a well maintained path.
It is a thrill that you walk among trees were little ones when Jesus born. Just think about the history. Both national parks Sequoia and Kings Canyon are well organized and tourist friendly. We met some road works that time but all staff was helpful.
You won't see so many of the largest trees in the world anywhere else. Great time to go - not crowded. Wait until the the snow is gone.
Beautiful place. The up of road is not easy, you need time.See that trees was amazing. The biggest living being in front of you that's nice!
the seqoias are something that everyone should make an effort in their lifetime to see. There is simply nothing else that compares to them
It is hard to get enough of these huge giants. Whats not to love about a beautiful fall morning spent among these beauties? The only thing that could top it is spending a lifetime watching them grow.
Big grove, easy access trail, wheelchair friendly. Interesting trees, old log cabins, and downed sequoias. Wildlife and plenty of flora. Just off Highway 180, a must-see!
Nice area for a walk. Went in the winter and it was beautiful. Would like to go back in the summer. Don't let the winter keep you from coming.
We visited in December with the intention of driving the 198 from the South via Three Rivers up to the 180 at King's Canyon. Unfortunately, the road was closed north of the Wuksachi Lodge. Snow chains had to be used even before we got to the Giant Forest Museum, which made for slow going.Despite that, it was absolutely beautiful. Snow covered forests and the giant Sequoia trees were majestic. Some in our party had never played in snow and they had a ball! It's amazing how big these threes grow, from just a tiny seed. The Giant Forest museum isn't large but the exhibits give a very good explanation regarding these beautiful trees.The rangers were happy to explain and going in winter meant you had plenty of space to enjoy the scenery and take pics. Be well prepared if you intend to hike as it was cold and slippery on the trails.
The rangers were eaily available to ask questions/take pictures, and were friendly but weren't pushy about talking with guests. The path was easy to navigate and paved. The markers were informative and interesting.
