Tokopah Falls is a stunning waterfall located in Sequoia National Park. The falls are tall and powerful, and they are surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the park. The hike to the falls is moderately difficult, but it is worth the effort. The falls are best visited in the spring or early summer, when the snowmelt is abundant. We were there in late July and it was not too crowded. I highly recommend that you wear sunscreen since most of the trail is in the sun. As always when you're on the trail bring at least 32 oz of water.

Here are some additional details about the falls:

The falls are located in the Tokopah Canyon, which is a tributary of the Kings River. The falls are named after the Tokopah Indian tribe, which once lived in the area. The falls are the tallest in Sequoia National Park, and they are the 12th tallest waterfall in California. The falls are best viewed from the Tokopah Point overlook, which is located about 0.6 miles (1 km) from the trailhead. If you are looking for a challenging hike with a rewarding payoff, then Tokopah Falls is a great option. The falls are a beautiful sight, and they are sure to leave...

5 stars – Hidden Gem Along a Roaring River

I hiked the Topoka Falls Trail in Sequoia National Park today, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience! The trail is about 1.7 miles one way and I’d rate it as moderate—while not overly steep, there are several rocky sections that require careful footing. What truly sets this trail apart is how it hugs the river nearly the entire way. In April and May, the water is roaring, creating a powerful and peaceful soundtrack to your hike. I found myself stopping several times just to sit, listen, and soak it all in.

The grand finale—the waterfalls—is stunning and surprisingly underrated compared to other sites in the park. This trail feels like a well-kept secret. Just a note: it’s best enjoyed during the spring when the river is full and vibrant; it might not have the same magic if the river is dry. Highly recommended for those looking for a serene yet invigorating hike with plenty of...

I'm not gonna knock a star off when its July and the waterfall will not be as majestic. Be prepared for the hot rocks at the end, wear or bring good grip shoes for granite rock hopping, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Awesome icy cold swim area at base of the fall. It's hot and dusty but the first half of the hike had trees for shade and beautiful meadows. Trail is easy to follow. As ya pass through boulders, there's one that'll be over your head with a view to the east, stop and feel that free a/c breeze and enjoy the scenery. Ya have to sit down to feel the breeze (found this by accident while resting). Most folks will miss this cuz they're just trying to get to the falls. Moderate hike, don't go if you're in poor health and plz pack...

Tokopah falls is a fairly easy hike, most of the way. Last stretch very rocky. And you have to be in great shape to get in water at the falls. But you don't have to go to top for a good view Nice little stream along trail with lots of fish in it. Easily accessible in many areas. I wish they had mile markers, so we knew how much further we had to go. Spoke with many people who gave up and turned around before the got there. No bathrooms. Or water, so make sure you take some, many stretches you are in sun. It was about a 2.5 hr round trip. But I did talk to someone who took 3 hrs to get up hill, one way, he was 86:years old . Overall it was a nice hike. Lots of friendly people on this trail. I recommend it.
