Sequoia National Forest — Local services in Exeter

TL;DR Sequoia National Forest is not the same place as Sequoia National Park, and each has it's own set of regulations, so be aware of where you're at when visiting. This review is for the National Forest.

This was on my bucket list and for my 50th birthday I decided to visit the park. It surpassed my expectations; it feels so magically being surrounded by those magnificent sequoia trees. I stayed for 5 nights at the Wuksachi hotel because I wanted to be close to everything. It was so worth it; beware on the weekend it was pretty crowded. Everything I got to do was so well maintained and trails clearly marked. Can't wait to plan...
