Sequoia National Park



During this long weekend we went to Sequoia National Park. Sequoia are the one of the largest trees on earth, huge in size & height. Sequoia National Park offers a wide variety of activities, hiking, biking, cave tours, scenic drive etc.

We reached Sequoia around noon, searched for a hotel and then went inside the park. First day we did not do much and just took a drive inside the park and planned our activities
for the next day.

Second day, we left hotel early to catch up with the first crystal cave tour. we stopped at Foothill to buy the Crystal Cave tours tickets and then from foothill it was 1 hour drive and 20 mins trail to reach to Crystal Cave. Crystal cave in Sequoia National Park is an amazing experience, i had never felt anything like this before.



Other things to do: Grant Forest Museum, Largest Sequoia Tree, Hiking and scenic drive.


Caution: Sequoia is bears habitat so all the food storage is must. One of the park ranger informed us bear can smell food even from 5 miles away. Not only food but also any thing which smells should be locked. There are many storage containers in the park to save your food and other items.
