#landmarks

Pressed for time but still want a tree-mendous experience? Here’s how to make the most of a 1-day adventure in Sequoia National Park, home to the world’s largest trees and breathtaking mountain views.

🌳 General Sherman Tree

Start your day with a visit to the world’s largest tree by volume! The short paved trail takes you to this iconic giant sequoia—prepare to feel tiny next to its massive trunk.

🏞️ Moro Rock

Climb up a steep stone staircase for panoramic views over the Great Western Divide. It’s a quick but intense climb—totally worth it for sunrise or mid-morning light.

🌲 Tunnel Log

Drive (or walk) through a fallen sequoia! It’s one of the park’s most Instagrammed spots—don’t miss a fun photo-op 🚗📷

🦌 Crescent Meadow

Take a peaceful walk through wildflower-dotted meadows surrounded by towering sequoias. Keep your eyes peeled for deer and maybe even a black bear in the distance!

🐻 Giant Forest Museum

Quick stop to learn about sequoia ecology and pick up a park map or souvenir. Great place for context on the giants you’re walking among.

⏰ Pro Tips
Arrive early to beat the crowds and get parking.
Bring snacks and water, as food options inside the park are limited.
Check the weather and road conditions, especially outside summer season.
