I recommend Heather Lake. The trailhead is out of Lodgepole I think. Also the campground at Stoney Creek between the two parks is good if you can get it. Then hike downstream a couple miles for some picturesque views of granite cliffs. My experience is that nobody bothers to go that far downstream.

Did you fly that drone? Flying a drone in a national park is against the law.

Thanks for your concern. Actually the drone footages are from stock video.

I had the incredible experience of working in Sequoia Nat'l Park one summer from late April thru to early October, way back in 1974. And even back then traffic could be bad, especially on weekends. I have been back to visit the park since then, in the summer of 2006, and traffic in the park was less than it had been in the mid-70's. Regardless of my own experiences in this park, I would never recommend for anyone to "not go" just because of traffic issues, which exists in almost ALL of our national parks, especially during peak season, Memorial Day to Labor Day. To allow something like traffic to stop you from visiting and exploring any of our national parks, each and every one of them a cherished treasure, is (to me, anyway) a real shame. Rather, I suggest planning a visit in the "shoulder" seasons: spring and fall, before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. And I'd also suggest trying to time your visit during the week, rather than any weekend. Getting an early morning start helps, as does a mid-to-late afternoon start. Crowds are at peak between 10-4 every day, and even higher on weekends. It just takes a little bit of forethought. Don't let the crowds prevent you from experiencing for yourself the incredible wonders our national parks provide us all access to. Having lived for over 6 months under the giant sequoias, this particular park holds a very special place in my heart. And while the average casual visitor may not experience the park as I did (as a resident), it's very difficult for me to believe that anyone having the opportunity the spend any time at all under those trees won't be impressed by them (at the very least). For me, it was a life changing experience, so much so that I want my ashes scattered there after I pass. Don't let something as relatively minor of an annoyance as traffic prevent you from visiting our national parks. The really busy parks all offer shuttle buses to help keep congestion down...take advantage of them. And if you are anti-public transportation, plan your visit to avoid the worst of the crowds. Whatever you do, don't take the advice to "not go".
