Natural Features

The Sequoia National Forest, located at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada in central California, takes its name from the giant sequoia, the world's largest tree, which grows in more than 30 groves on the Forest's lower slopes.

The Forest comprises about 1.1 million acres, and elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet, creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Salmon Creek Falls and Grizzly Falls.

Hike the Sugar Bowl Loop in Kings Canyon NP

Tulare County, California

6.5 mi / 1480 ft gain

First and foremost, to get to this trailhead you need to drive down a 2-mile, one lane dirt road that is quite steep. It is highly recommended you do this in an AWD or 4WD vehicle, especially since the road can be muddy from snowmelt or after a recent rain. We have a 2WD car but used chains for extra traction and that worked well. The dirt road is not plowed in winter. There is adequate parking...

Hike Little Baldy

Three Rivers, California

3.5 mi / 700 ft gain

A short hike with impressive views of Sequoia National Park, the Little Baldy trail is the less touristy version of Moro Rock. When we hiked it on a beautiful Sunday morning in the summer, we had the entire summit to ourselves. Even if other hikers had been up there, it would have still felt empty as Little Baldy is so large and offers 360 degree views.To start the hike, you'll want to park o...
