Sequoia National Forest

Sequoia National Forest is home to some of the largest trees in the world! This area has huge trees, beautiful views, and amazing hikes. You can even drive through one of the trees! It is a really pretty place to visit and these are some of my favorite places in the park and forest to visit.

Redwoods:

Looking around Sequoia National Forest you can see huge beautiful trees everywhere! The redwoods in this forest are some of the largest in the world. You can pick different trails to hike or just go straight to the largest tree. If you get a chance to feel one do it! They are super soft...I'm not kidding the really big trees have soft trunks.

Sherman Peak Trail:

This is one of the highest views you can hike to. It feels like you are on the top of a mountain and it is a trail that doesn't get a lot of use. I didn't see one person the entire time. It's cold but worth it! Beautiful view from the top and nothing but the sound of the wind.

Camp Nelson Trail:

This trail goes from sunny to hidden. Lots of shade and beautiful light shining on these huge trees. It is a biking trail and hiking trail. We went up the back of the trail and hiked to the tree you can walk through. 

Moro Rock:

This steep stairway to the top is worth it! I'm afraid of heights but just grab the railing before you look around. Beautiful view for a sunset and a really fun rock to get on top of.

General Sherman Tree:

The biggest tree in the world! This thing is huge. Long lines to get your picture taken in front of a sign that says General Sherman Tree but any angle you get shows just how huge this tree is.

Bears!:

There are bears in this park! We saw one while driving and got super excited. Here is what you need to know: keep your food locked up good use bear lockers provided if camping and get rid of all your trash! 

Rivers:

The rivers here are beautiful! Not as full flowing because of the draught but still really pretty. You can fish or just hike down and lay on the rocks.
