Where to fly into for sequoia national park
Sequoia National Park Travel Guide | Things to do & see on a weekend
[Music]
it's 10 a.m. and we just made it inside
the park ready to do some hikes and
check out other Vista points in the park
so it should be a lot of fun look how
tiny Tokai looks in comparison so the
first activity today will be to climb
more rock we are now walking on the
little trail towards it it's paved and
very smooth and flat supposed to have
one of the best views of the whole park
so the theory goes
[Music]
we were just discussing how dangerous it
might be when one of these massive trees
fall and this tree behind us basically
did exactly that there's a sign saying
that it fell like 60 years ago without
any warning and it was around for like
2,000 years we made a little detour to
come and check out this famous Tunnel
log and cars can go through it even
though it looks very tiny compared to
all the giant trees around it we finally
starting our climb up to mara Rock
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
mara Rock definitely a muscly here in
Sequoia yes
standing views and one thing I would
note is that we read that the hike is
considered strainers but it was actually
quite easy and it's very well paved and
safe to climb up so definitely give it a
go I swear in the Grand tree trail which
is in Kings Canyon National Park which
is next door to Sequoia Park and we're
just gonna go and see another victory
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right we made it to Hume leg or
whatever it's called but whatever it's
called it's awesome and we're having a
bit of a picnic here with a apple and
yeah second button there that's all
we're eating we cover the ground I look
around there it's just unbelievable
[Music]
look at that
[Music]
this is our room quite cozy this is the
common area that we're showing with
another guest staying in that room over
there it's very nice we were just
driving past a town called wood lake and
we realized like a lot of forest
plantations are owned by Tropicana
so we just felt obliged to come and
steal a few oranges
very juicy super-sweet
[Music]
our first stop today in the park is
going to be General Sherman tree which
is the largest tree in the world and
it's a little trail is about half a mile
and yeah we can't wait
[Music]
finally made it I'm so elated we finally
made it to the General Sherman tree I've
been looking forward to seeing this
absolutely humongous tree and it's the
biggest tree on the planet it's like 275
feet high and it's been growing for like
three thousand years so it's also one of
the oldest trees on the planet this is
quite interesting it says this tree is
not the tallest or the widest but the
overall volume of his trunk it makes it
the biggest tree on earth
