"Renowned for its towering giant sequoias and numerous groves, this park contains some of the world’s largest living trees and dramatic natural features. The Giant Forest holds the ancient Sherman Tree—the largest living tree by volume—and visitors also explore sites such as Hospital Rock, Crescent Meadow, and Moro Rock; recent large fires affected several groves but many sequoias survived." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"Home to giant sequoia trees, this park offers a unique experience of walking among some of the largest trees on Earth, as well as hiking and camping opportunities."
"As one Reddit user noted, Sequoia National Park is an excellent alternative to larger, more well-known parks in the area. The park is not only home to the world's largest trees, but also has plenty of other things to find and explore, like mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons and vast caverns, according to the National Park Service. Guests are welcome to come camp and see the park all year long, however it should be noted that snow may hamper your experience. Try booking for the summer and fall season to see the park at its best." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"I’m awed by Sequoia National Park’s enormous trees — the park is full of towering redwoods and sequoias so massive you can drive a car through some and whose crowns you can’t see; it’s worth starting at the Giant Forest Museum to learn about the park, walking the Big Trees Trail, and visiting the General Sherman, the largest single-stem tree in the world." - Matthew Kepnes
