Stay at the Sierra Lodge. Take the time to hike Moro Rock. Crystal Cave was closed but sounds awesome. Picnic & hike in Giant Forest. Visit General Sherman & hike the congress loop!

Start with just let it come over you: the giant trees, the mountains, the snow. Visit General Sherman, climb to Moro Rock, walk to Sunset Rock, make long walks and drive through Tunnel Log.

Great camping spots. Store is super expensive - bring food with you and store it in the bear locker. Fire pits are the coolest.

Make sure to bring chains during winter time. They're required to get in and pretty expensive to rent (when actually available) nearby.

Mi sono letteralmente innamorata di questo parco. Maestoso! Consiglio di prendere più tempo per visitare con calma, esplorare ogni sentiero, riposare e mangiarci un panino sotto l'albero di sequoia.
