Sequoia National Park is an amazing place that attracts many travelers with its fascinating nature. The landscapes of the reserve show the unique beauty of huge mountains, rocky foothills, deep canyons, vast caves, and the largest trees in the world. Anyway, first things first.

Sequoia National Park is located in the south of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. It was founded in the late 19th century and became the third national park in the United States after Yellowstone and Mackinac. Its area covers more than one and a half thousand square kilometers, spread out among impressive mountain and forest landscapes. So put on comfortable shoes and go to meet nature.

Many tourists begin exploring Sequoia National Park by visiting tourist centers, a Ranger Station, and a museum. These places offer a lot of interesting and useful information: expositions and movies about the history of the reserve and the features of the local nature, as well as advice on tourist routes and assistance in planning trips.

Sequoia National Park is full of wonders. Plan to spend at least a day to explore them. The giant forest is home to more than two thousand huge redwoods – the largest trees in terms of wood volume and mass on the planet. Meet «General Sherman» and «General Grant» – the park and world record holders. These are the sequoias, the trunks of which can barely be hugged by even ten people holding hands. 

Another local celebrity is Mount Whitney. This is the highest peak not only of the Sierra Nevada mountain range but also of the Contiguous States. The height of the mountain reaches almost four and a half thousand meters. It is perfectly visible from many points and viewing platforms of the park.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of tourists make their way along the winding mountain roads to see the most famous natural attractions of the reserve. But even during your first visit, you can step away from the beaten path and the hustle and bustle to discover Sequoia National Park from a new and unexpected side.
