The ULTIMATE Sequoia National Park Travel Guide

[@patrickcrews3977]

42, and finally making my first journey there next Wednesday! Thanks for the video!

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much. I did go as a young teenager (first time) but didn’t appreciate it. I went again in my late 40s and wow!!! The trees are other worldly.

[@JustReckles5]

Did you enjoy it??

[@patrickcrews3977]

@@JustReckles5 yes, very much! There was a thick fog throughout, which made it even more spectacular! The views from Morro Rock were next to zero. It was great! Very much recommended

[@JustReckles5]

@patrickcrews3977 niiiice I went around the time you went, it was absolutely stunning, I've never been while there was fog, it felt as if I were atop of the world

[@mikebreeden6071]

Thanks. This is the best information I have found so far.

[@traveleaz]

Thank you! Going again soon, although need to do a Kings Canyon video!

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

The sequoias and redwoods parks are great❤ places to visit

[@traveleaz]

I cannot disagree - the sequoias and redwods are incredble and I cannot wait to go back (which should be soon)

[@natehadlock]

I've been watching videos all day about this area, trying to plan a trip. Your video is easily the most concise, while having the most necessary info. Thank you! Excellent work

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much, that was such a nice to hear. I was planning on going back this year because it's so incredible and was only there for a couple of days last year - may have to be next year. Hope you get to go!

[@mt8073]

Great content and video! I took screenshots of the places you labeled before heading there.

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much. The one thing I regret was not taking a photo of me or the family in front of one of these amazing trees. Just forgot to do it. Be sure you take a photo of yoruself in front of the trees as they are beyond incredible.

[@Joobeee]

Great video, thank you!

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much.

[@jl2622]

Going there tomorrow. Thanks for all info

[@traveleaz]

You're there today! I hope you enjoy the park.

[@oyelovedeep]

One day I will be visit at this place

[@traveleaz]

I hope you do! The first time you see one of these enormous trees you will know it was worth it. Thank you for the comment.

[@barretoingridy]

Wow. Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much for the comment - I really appreciate it!

[@somedaynowtravel]

A great informational video, Nicely done! We look forward to a 2024 trip here.

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much. I was just in the area - for half a day - and did a couple more very quick videos. Should be out in a couple of months. Enjoy your time there next year - it's very special.

[@alfredocoronel7701]

Wonderfull park

[@traveleaz]

It is, isn't it? The trees must be seen to understand how magnificent (and huge) they are.

[@RyeGrass123]

Awesome video! Me and my mother are going together for Mother’s Day today!

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much. Have an awesome time today. I hope it’s beautiful. 👍🏻

[@barbarael]

I would love to see sequoias one day

[@traveleaz]

They are amazing - the older I get the more incredible they appear (I did not apprexiste them as much as I should have when I first saw them as a teenager). I hope you go!

[@JustReckles5]

You must! It feels like you enter a portal into a wonderland!

[@barbarael]

@@traveleaz Thank you!

How is the weather in november during thanksgiving?

[@Bigfoot-px9gj]

Not bad. The National Weather Service says they're only expecting two feet of snow.

[@traveleaz]

Goodness, I only now saw your comment. So sorry but happy someone else replied.

[@steviejd5803]

This was my first video guide to Sequoia National Park, thank you for such an outstanding effort. I now have more info and ideas to follow, thanks again. We are planning a two stop visit, Sequoia first with Kings Canyon, 3 nights or so, then on to Yosemite for 4 or 5 nights. We are thinking to arrive late May or first week of June, any advice? We love America and are trying to visit as many wonders as possible in one lifetime 🇺🇸❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@traveleaz]

Thank you very much for the wonderful comment. I think you're traveling at a great time of year - still busy in Yosemite but not as mad crazy as in the middle of summer. I've seen snow in Yosemite in places during May, so be prepared.

[@jacksonhately2346]

So good - love your work. Heading to the park in a couple of weeks - is everything still open in September?

[@traveleaz]

Thank you! Yes everything is still in September. Great time of year to visit the park. Enjoy it.

[@kaylinde2321]

I checked the website, seems Crystal Cave is closed

[@dandawson8128]

⁠@@traveleazWhat is open in late December from Fresno airport to Wuksachi? Ideally 180, but if closed I guess 198.

[@charronfamilyconnect]

I heard the crystal cave road is closed ​@@traveleaz

[@traveleaz]

@@charronfamilyconnect You're right - and the cave is closed for the entire 2024

best camping ive had backpacking up high elevations bathing in lakes clean air water clear see fish and salmon swimming just grab fish no pole needed

[@traveleaz]

I'm a little jealous, as I haven't done what you did. That's the best way to enjoy this great park.

[@scspolitical]

Is the park open in December?

[@traveleaz]

Yes it is however, there are parts of the park that are closed during the winter (such as the Mineral King area). Here is a good place to check: www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/conditions.htm

[@scspolitical]

@traveleaz thank you 👍

[@Hans353]

How is the weather late march/early April? Is there a high probability i will miss out on some activities? Due to snow

[@bellescarla7307]

Would you recommend going there first week of April? Or late June?

[@traveleaz]

Good question - late June is better for weather but not for crowds. I would personally go in April and avoid the crowds (although the weather may not be quite as good).

Hello, I know you said fill up for gas but would there EV chargers at the park? Thanks for sharing and info.

[@traveleaz]

Hi there - I do not believe there are EV chargers in the park, yet. There are EV stations in Three Rivers as well as Visalia and Fresno. Here is the website to check - it could change? www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/gasstation.htm

Can you actually see mount Whitney from this park?

[@us2745]

How much does it cost to get in?

[@traveleaz]

A single pass costs $35 (private vehicle pass - for 1-7 days) and an annual pass is $70. The best value is the America the Beautiful pass (annual) and it is $80. www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/fees.htm#spci_F9462580-90D8-350C-71FB261917B91175

I’m in Los Angeles wanting to go. But I don’t know if I should go to the sequoia national park or the forest!! Are they different? Will I see sequoias at both places ? I’m lost and need help

[@traveleaz]

So - I was hoping someone else would reply as I know Sequoia National Park, having been there many times in my life but I have never been to Sequoia NF. I know the Forest is much larger (3x larger I believe?) and of course, there are many simliarities. I am also aware of the magnificent Trail of 100 Giants in the National Forest. They are also managed by different agencies - however, I am aware I haven't really answered your question but wanted you to have some reply. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge that I have of BOTH can help you out.

[@TIARRA1NDRFUL]

Hello, Yes, there are sequoias in both places but if it's your first visit, i would go to the Park, not the Forest. .

Good question - most searches on the internet say June to August, but it's too busy in my opinion. I much prefer mid-September to mid-October (if the weather holds).

[@IIrandhandleII]

Crystal cave has been closed for years.

[@traveleaz]

Yes, it has been closed since 2021 (according to the NPS). The Park is hoping to open it again this year, 2024.

And tall trees there in the surrounding and further out somewhere but you can check of those trees around too.

​​@@traveleazmusic is my main interest in life. At the right time. When i visit this park I won't feel the need to have a music player with me.

It's just a distraction

Cool inspiring message however their in a small gas station unfortunately in the Stoney creek/ montecito ski resort areas so to say their one single inside the premises of sequoia national park systems not the outskirts campgrounds wise dorst creek I believe is the closest to that ⛽️ stationary
