I haven't been to Sequoia National Park in 15 years, and the last time we were here we were on the other side of the park. This time we entered through the Visalia side and planned to see Crystal Cave & go for the Stargazing experience in the evening. Sequoia is a beautiful park. We spent all day in the park. Our Cave tour was at 3pm and our Stargazing was at the lodge at 9pm. They had a separate line at the entrance for guests who prepurchase or had NP passes which was nice and cut down entrance times. Though we only visited a small section of the park on this trip it was all beautiful. We drove around, visited Crystal Cave (advanced tickets required), The General Sherman Tree, Stargazing Night Talk at the Lodge, as well as the general store. We saw some of the biggest trees we have ever encountered. Walked many different trails, saw a beautiful sunset, and spent an hour watching stars with an astronomer who pointed out many constellations and provided insight on them. Overall it was an incredible experience, and I can't wait to be able to explore more at a later date.

Sequoia National Park is beyond words…😍 The beauty here is simply unreal. Standing among these giant trees takes your breath away. No photo can truly capture the feeling of being here. One of the most awe-inspiring places we’ve ever visited🏕️🌲✨

Plan on getting there early. Take plenty of snacks. The hikes are beautiful and fairly easy. There are 3 different buses that take you different locations. Moro rock is an absolute must do! The views are stunning!!!!

Finally I got to visit this much recommended California National Park. It was no doubt one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The giant sequoia tree forests, rocks, water falls, rivers and other scenery were all worth the drive and wait time in the shuttle line and restrooms. Come visit if you haven’t. We were lucky enough to score two tickets to the newly re-opened Crystal Cave. According to my daughters who were able to go, it was definitely a lot of fun. Book the tickets online at least two days before to secure tickets for your whole group. Tips for a more productive day: start as early as possible. If you can get to the park entrance before 6:00am in summer you can visit all tourist spots and then find parking near the trail heads that you want to visit. Parkings in all places are hard to come by after 11:00am. Lines at the shuttle stops can easily be more than an hour long. So please plan ahead. Plenty of water and food is recommended for a safe trip. Another tip for people like me who prefer a proper restroom: use the restrooms in the museum side not the parking lot side.

Sequoia National Park is absolutely breathtaking! Seeing the giant sequoia trees in person was an unforgettable experience — pictures truly don’t do them justice. The park is peaceful, scenic, and full of incredible hiking trails and viewpoints. The drive through the mountains was beautiful, and spots like General Sherman Tree and Moro Rock were highlights of the trip. Perfect destination for nature lovers, families, and anyone wanting to experience the beauty of California’s outdoors. Highly recommend visiting at least once! Visited on 19th April 2026

Every National Park is exceptional. Imagine trees hundreds of years old, with that magical energy of history. It's an easy walk, ideal for whole families, with children, adults, I even saw people with walking sticks. Go with the understanding that nowadays having the opportunity to see trees like this is almost impossible, which makes it a wonderful place.

Lovely park! Vast terrain from mountain ranges, valleys, and massive sequoia trees. How cool that we have the largest tree on earth right here in the US! Be prepared for some narrow, winding roads so you’ll definitely need a full day in the park. Not too busy on a Saturday in November. Lots to do and great views.

I’m so impressed with the biggest tree in the whole. There’s a short trail to the General Sherman Tree. There are some steps along the trail, quite an easy trail but not easy for baby with a stroller. We had to lift the stroller along the walk. However, it was worth it. We had a good time

Sequoia National Park is truly breathtaking and amazing. The drive to the park takes about an hour and includes many sharp turns and narrow roads where both directions share the lane, so take your time and drive carefully. It’s absolutely worth the trip if you enjoy wildlife, forest scenery, and stunning high-ground rock areas.

The most amazing experience. We saw a black bear just randomly as we were coming down mountain . The giant forest is otherworldly and Moro rock makes you feel like you’re on top of world . Camped at Lodgepole , which is 45 min up the mountain on winding road I recommend traveling in daylight . But well worth it

The Sequoia National Park, with its “Giant Forest” it’s such a unique place on earth. The visit, with its trails is easy but yet marvelous. By coming with the car, we were immediately conquered by the view of the sequoias. These huge living beings, seemingly touching the sky. There is a strong wildlife all around the trees. It’s very pleasant to see deers and squirrels living in their freedom and being used to see humans. It’s a Californian must. Such a great visit.

this was our first trip to Sequoia national Park. The trail to General Sherman is pretty easy. The trail to Congress trees is a little more intense if you have people with knee issues. Overall This was very impressive, the trees were unbelievable, so big and vibrant and colorful

Great place to visit! Going to General Sherman tree is a must. A little hike going there is easy, but going back is a bit of a challenge as it is upward and air is a bit thin, so it's better to bring water and a good pair of shoes. Weather is clear and sunny when we go there. It went as high as 100F during the afternoon. Road conditions are good. Lots of zigzag and up and down. Be sure to check brakes for safety and enjoy the view while driving, and use turnouts as needed. Expect a lot of stops as there are lots of great views to take in and enjoy. Great experience overall, and I learned a lot.

Absolutely amazing with breathtaking beauty all across both the Sequoia forest and Kings canyon. The drive to and from the Sequoia forest is very scenic and scary because of all the cliff switchbacks. The views across Kings Canyon are spectacular and stunning. Once in the forest of giants it is hard to comprehend how the trees grew so big and survived a millennia. This is truly a must see on the bucket list.
