BUCKET LIST TRIP 🌲📍✨

After Visalia won me over, I went deep into the Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. I’ve outlined below a few tips about each location and the stops throughout, and have linked the reel with the @visitvisalia recommendations!

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK 🌲🍃🌿

• Tunnel Rock: easy walk right by the road, perfect first photo
• Hospital Rock: ancient pictographs + picnic area
• Moro Rock Trail: over 350 steps, worth every single one for that view
• Parker Group: wander in and get dwarfed by every tree around you
• Tunnel Log: yep, you drive straight through a fallen giant!
• Crescent Meadow: such a peaceful stroll, great picnic area too!
• Sherman Tree Trail: short walk down to the biggest tree on Earth, bit of a climb on the way back up but WELL worth it.
• Giant Forest Museum: quick stop to make sense of it all/merch!

KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARK 🪨🌲🥹❤️

• Grant Grove: arrive early to walk among the giants with no crowds
• General Grant Tree: the second-biggest tree on the planet, also known as California’s Christmas tree! Found in Grant Grove.
• The Fallen Monarch: walk right through the one that came down, also in Grant Grove.
• Roaring River Falls: short walk, low effort but large pay off! Gorgeous!
• Muir Rock: large flat granite slab, right beside the river. Beautiful spot to have a packed lunch!
• Zumwalt Meadow: granite walls towering over the loop, with a wooden footbridge at the beginning & a gorgeous boardwalk overlooking the meadow.

And the drive out? Phenomenal. Half the magic is getting there, pull over and take in the view!

Do these national parks deserve a place on YOUR bucketlist?

Is it us, or does this granite look like it put on its autumn sweater? 🍂🪨

That warm sunset glow washing over the rock, the golden hints across the landscape, and those layers of Sierra peaks fading into the distance… suddenly it’s very hard to think about anything but fall.

The trees don’t get to have all the seasonal fun. Sometimes even the granite gets in on the color change. 😉

Who else is ready for more of this warm High Sierra glow?
