Big Al’s tips for traveling to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks! #kingscanyon #sequoianationalpark #giantsequoia #redwoods

➡️Share this with someone you want to do a national parks trip with this year! Here’s the perfect way to spend 48 hours between the two parks: 🌲 Day 1: Sequoia Lunch at Totem Café → Crystal Cave tour (make reservations) → photo stops at Buttress Tree & Tunnel Log → Crescent Meadow hike (1.3 mi) → sunset at Moro Rock → dinner at The Peaks Restaurant → stargazing with the Sequoia Parks Conservancy. 🏞️ Day 2: Kings Canyon Start at General Grant Tree → drive the Scenic Byway with stops at Boyden Cavern (make reservations), Grizzly Falls, Roaring River Falls & Zumwalt Meadow (1.5 mi) → pull over at the scenic turnouts for epic canyon views. If you have more time, you can head to Hume Lake for a couple of hours or do the Big Stump Loop. 🌲 Day 3: Sequoia Photo at the park sign & Tunnel Rock → General Sherman Tree → Congress Trail loop (3 mi) through some of the most impressive sequoias in the park. ✨ 3 Things I Did But Would Skip Next Time I tried these but left them out of the itinerary for a reason: 🚫 Hume Lake as a quick stop – Beautiful, but the road is slow and winding down. If you’re not planning to spend at least a couple of hours here, it’s not worth the detour. Also, check when the day use area closes. 🚫 Sequoia Coffee & Kitchen – The wait is too long on weekends. We got there 30 minutes after they opened, and it still took 20 minutes just to get an iced latte, and the coffee was just okay. Better to head straight into the park early. 🚫 The Gateway Restaurant – I found this stop from an Instagram reel, and I kind of wish I hadn’t. One of those influenced places that isn’t worth the hype. Great views, but disappointing food, service, and cleanliness. I’d recommend grabbing food from somewhere further away from the park entrance instead. 🔎 California national park travel, Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon National Park, National Park Itinerary, Giant Sequoias, Big Trees #sequoianationalpark #kingscanyonnationalpark #findyourpark #optoutside #nationalparkservice

What I wish I knew before visiting Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks 🌲🏞️ 👉 Stay inside the parks if you can. We stayed in Visalia and ended up driving nearly 4 hours a day just to reach the highlights. 🐻 Bears are common — we saw one just 20 feet off the trail in Sequoia! Use bear lockers for food and anything scented. In Kings Canyon, there aren’t as many lockers, so plan to carry things with you. If you see a bear, make noise and give it space. ⛰️ The altitude is no joke. Trails often start at 5–8,000 feet, and even short hikes left me winded and my muscles sore. Drink plenty of water and pace yourself. ✨ Don’t miss tours with the Sequoia Parks Conservancy. Crystal Cave is incredible (book a few weeks ahead), and their stargazing tour was also great. 💡 More tips for planning: ⏰ Buy your park pass online ahead of time. This lets you bypass the long line of cars at the entrance and go straight to the far-right lane for faster entry. ⛽ Fill your tank before you enter the parks. We only saw two gas stations inside, and they were expensive and not super convenient to get to. 📵 Don’t expect cell service — download maps, hikes, and music before you go. 📌Save this to make your trip smoother! 🔎California national park travel, Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon National Park, National Park Itinerary, Giant Sequoias, Big Trees #sequoianationalpark #kingscanyonnationalpark #findyourpark #optoutside #nationalparkservice
