We drove on the long winding roads to the top where we found amazing sequoia trees. We were riding for a while so we stopped before hiking to the general and used the restrooms. In my life I have never
Seen worse conditions. The urinals were backed up and running on the floor.
The ladies room had not one square of toilet paper and there was paper scattered everywhere on the floor. Disgusting is a kind word.

We thoroughly enjoyed both of these parks. Of course, the Sequoia trees are the big draw, but there’s sooooooo much more beauty. The Grant and Sherman trees are “must sees,” but don’t skip many of the hikes that feature equally as magnificent, but lesser known giant trees. Check out the Parker Group to see eight giant trees close to each other. We had a fun adventure going to the super remote Chicago Stump, and really enjoyed the North Grove hike. Kings Canyon has gorgeous views along the full park drive. In Sequoia, be sure to see Tunnel Rock and Hospital Rock as two of the many interesting stops. Don’t miss the Indian petroglyphs and other exhibits at Hospital Rock, and take the short hike down to the river to climb some massive rocks among the rapids. We saw four bears while in these parks!! Two Mamas, each with a cub! Couldn’t have asked for more!

Seeing the sequoia trees was on my mom's bucket list so we made it happen! There were so many options that accomodated her arthritis issues - Grant's Grove was a favorite!

What an amazing place to see. We arrived around 7am so there was nobody at the entrance and everybody was just driving thru. We had already purchased our ticket but not big deal as all money going to the preservation of the park. Parking was plenty but was getting full by the time we were leaving. Would definitely recommend going as early as you can in the summer time as it started getting really hot by noon. There is a lot of walking so beware if you're not in great shape specially the way back is all uphill. We saw a lot of wild life including a black bear in the distance. If I could think anything negative is the bathrooms at the entrance were pretty dirty. Specially first thing in the morning as nobody had clean them for a while.

Stunning scenery just by driving. Plenty of trails for every hiking level/experience. Make sure to stop by the museum/visitor center, then take the paved path down to see the General Sherman
