Trail reviews for Sequoia National Park
Topokah Falls is a stunning waterfall in the Sequoia National Park, cold water but I have to perform my own ritual(cold water plunge or jump into the pool )
Fantastic trail! Trail starts near the General Sherman tree photo op. Paved and shaded with a few inclines. Great way to view the Sequoias up close and personal. There were quite a few people on the trail but that is to be expected during this time of the year. There are restrooms and water station nearby.
Sequoia NP - Moro rock loop
Nice series of interconnected trails that provides a lot of variety. Great views of the snow capped mountain peaks. The views from Bobcat Point are amazing. They are even better from Eagle View. A lot of Sequoia trees, ferns and flowers. Awesome views of the meadow from many places. Overall a fun trail.
Popular section of the sequoia forest! General Sherman was busy!
