Holiday in the Sequoia National Park
Orientation
The Sequoia National Park, located in the Sierra Nevada region of California, is named for its groves of giant Sequoia trees. Along with the adjacent Kings Canyon National Park it was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1976. The park lies at altitudes between 1,300 feet and 14,505 feet and offers spectacular mountain and forest scenery.
An ancient landscapeThe Southern Sierras have been occupied by humans for at least 6,000 years. Monache tribes were hunters and gatherers here until Spanish explorers arrived at the end of the 18th-century followed by trappers, miners, and loggers. The national parks were formed when naturalists realized commercial activity was damaging the landscape. Today, the parks protect over 300 archaeological and historic sites.
Getting thereA vehicle is essential for exploring this isolated landscape. The nearest commercial airport is the Fresno-Yosemite International Airport about 2 hours drive away. The park has two entrances accessed by US Route 180 from Fresno and Route 198 from Visalia. Both routes involve driving on mountain roads.
Activities
The Sequoia National Park is a real joy for animal and bird lovers. Habitats range from hot and dry lowlands to alpine high country, providing a safe home for a wide diversity of wildlife. At least 260 native vertebrates have been cataloged as living in the park, many of which are very rare. Species include coyote, black bear, cougar, wolverine, and beaver.
A destination for driversDriving around the park lets you get up close to the giant sequoias or, at Tunnel Log, drive through a fallen sequoia. Meandering through Kings Canyon takes you past an impressive waterfall, jagged mountains, and flower-filled meadows.
A delight for hikers and horse-ridersOver three-quarters of the Sequoia National Park is a designated wilderness and accessible only on foot or horseback. Climb to the top of Moro Rock for breathtaking views of the Great Western Divide or spend a day hiking to Alta Peak. The Trail of 100 Giants takes you on a walk past some of the planet's oldest and largest trees. Some are over 1500 years old.
Over 1,000 miles of roadway in the park have been deliberately abandoned, letting more of the region revert to its natural wilderness state, accessible only on foot or horseback.
Top 5 things to do in the Sequoia National Park
Visit the world's largest tree, the General Sherman Tree, in the Giant Forest. An informative park museum is also located here.
2. Go underground at Crystal CaveThe large Crystal Cave is filled with wonderful features sculpted by millions of years of water erosion. It is always chilly in the cave so be sure to pack a jumper.
3. A tree house with a differenceHale Tharp was the first European settler to homestead the area. He created a home by hollowing out a fallen giant sequoia from where he fought many battles with early loggers. Tharp's Log has survived and is open to visitors.
4. Admire the powerful Tokopah FallsFollow the trail from Marble Fork Bridge to the Tokopah Falls which flow over impressive granite cliffs. The falls are 1,200 feet high and at their best in early summer as they carry away mountain snowmelt.
5. An ancient siteHospital Rock can be found near Tharp's Log and is a fascinating place where ancient pictographs or rock paintings can be seen as well as grinding holes used by Native American women as they prepared a corn meal. A hunter caught in his own trap, rested here to recuperate from his injury, hence its name of Hospital Rock.
