Better than going to see General Sherman as you actually get to touch and climb on these trees.
Beautiful hike, very easy and well shaded, we brought along out little dog and he enjoyed it too. Definitely recommended !
Me and the family did this trail last year. OK for beginners and you can also take kids.
An easy walk through the woods around massive trees.
This trail is definitely a 5
Unlike most places around the Sequoias, this trail allows you to get right up next to the giant trees. There is a easy to walk, paved trail. You have to pay $5 to park, which is unusual in national forest land, but they are doing quite a bit of work clearing out the dead trees. That part of the forest has been hard hit by the bark beetle.
I got very lucky and arrived on the first day it opened since the snow melted, the tree were cleared some, and the roads were open. It was worth the drive - spectacular trees and nice paved trail. The damage from the winter was evident and the crews were still clearing some of the trail.
It is definitely worth visiting, our family loved the trees and nature. However, be warned, no matter which way you drive through it will be long, windy roads. Plan for, at the very least, about an hour through mountainous, curving roads. Being from the Midwest, this hit us harder than others. We weren't expecting the distance through these types of roads, and so experienced car sickness and nausea.
Overall, the hike was pretty easy. The path is paved and the trees are close to the path so you don't have to wander far or worry about getting lost. We were personally looking for a bit harder of a hike, as we are more experienced outdoors people, but it was definitely worth it to see the Sequoias. Truly breathtaking.
Easy paved walking trail. Huge tress beautiful scenery.
Nice, easy stroll to see breathtakingly large ancient sequoia trees. Smooth path accessible to strollers, wheelchairs, etc.
Tip: take a digital photo of the interpretive map/sign at the beginning of the trail to avoid using paper maps.
