[@spooner3452]

I remember the stories of our older ones, that around 12.800 years ago in my country [Montenegro - south east Europe] trees were as tall as 250 meters, that in our forests lived scorpions which were about 1m in size, large bears, and that the level of oxygen was so dense that people were as tall as 3 to 4 meters. I can just look at this video and say that Sequoia trees are remnants of mega flora, and mega fauna, and considering the fact that they survived for so long I can only assume that these forests were on a path of giant water waves which were omitted when the fragments of a decaying comet hit the Laurentian ice cap. Beneath this forest still lies vast amounts of water and also oxygen.

Are we planting more of them? I'll see them in April! Is that a good time?

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

We're envious. Hope you have a great time! To answer your questions: We're not sure there's a bad time to visit. This forest is incredible in all seasons though summer and fall are increasingly threatened by wildfires. Federal and state land managers continue to plant new trees, but it takes thousands of years for them to fully mature. And between 10-15% of the surviving sequoia forest has been lost in the last few years to wildfires in California. These trees are threatened by the warming climate. When visiting, be especially conscious of the impact you make. These trees should be enjoyed, but they are also precious and should be respected and protected.

[@ronneilcamara5071]

@@HomeInWildSpaces Will do. I wish we can have longer vacation. My wife can only request 5 days of leave :( So We're not sure if we should do this kind of schedule April 9-12 in SanFrancisco April 13 Yosemite April 14 Sequoia then rush back to SFO for our flight in the evening, SIGH :(

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

It's hard settling on a schedule, especially when there is soooo much to see. However, If you ask us; we'd suggest cutting way back. San Francisco is cool, but as you've probably concluded we're chiefly drawn to the outdoors and nature. That's where we'd spend our time, but understand that not everyone shares our preferences. Preferences not withstanding, even people who are unable to hike or explore the backcountry really ought to give Sequoia and Yosemite multiple days each. If we had 5 days, we'd probably spend them all at one park and save the other park for another trip. It takes time to really connect with these remarkable landscapes and is not the kind of thing that should be rushed. Definitely a case of "less is more" when planning a visit to our national parks. Any time you have to "rush" you're likely depriving yourself of the absolute best the parks have to offer. Hope that helps. We wish you the best on your trip. However much time you spend in the parks, please tread lightly. These are sacred spaces.

Sherman is spectacular and well worth your time, but if you ask us wandering through the forest itself is the best experience you can have. Sherman is more often than not surrounded by crowds.

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

There are a number of very accessible trails including the trail to General Sherman, Grant Grove (in Kings Canyon NP) and the big trees trail. I'd expect the heat and mosquitoes to be more manageable in fall, however, California has been having terrible fires in the fall as summer foliage dries up. I don't know that there is a perfect time, but I can't say there's a bad time either. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the video! Is the giant forest trail well marked or will I need to know where to turn at intersections to stay on it?

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

It's a little bit of a maze. Multiple trails intersect each other. Not terribly disorienting in our opinion, but it's best to have your map from the park service handy. We wandered for hours along multiple trails and couldn't have been happier. Even missed the shuttle back to where our car was parked. Had to walk 2-3 miles in total darkness (not recommended). Stay on the trail, study your map, and watch the time (if you need to catch the shuttle). And leave no trace. This is a sacred space deserving of respect.
