Top Things Must See and Do in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks | TRAVEL GUIDE
In this video, we are going to share with you a Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Travel plan that would be perfect for a 1-day visit to these two parks. These recommendations are based on our frequent visits to these parks.
We live just an hour from Sequoia National Park, we have hiked tons of trails in here, but for today's video, we are only sharing the easy, short, and accessible things you can do in both Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park if you only have a day or two to spend in the park.
Here are some reminders before you visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
1.) Entrance Fee is $35 for private vehicles, $20 if by foot, or on a bike.
This ticket is valid for 7 days in both Sequoia and Kings. Men and women from the armed forces of the United States are free.
2.) No Gasoline in the park. Make sure you have enough gas to navigate the whole park. On Summer days, gas is available in Hume Lake and Stony Creek.
3.) No phone signals and wifi. Make sure you download your itinerary or screenshot the list of places you wish to go to in the park. Maps and additional information are also available at the entrance gate and visitor's centers.
4.) Due to Covid-19, make sure you bring extra masks, in case they require you to wear one in certain areas.
5.) Road closures can happen. Due to changing weather, make sure to check recent road updates before going.
6.) Bring snacks and lots of water. The temperature in the park changes a lot, keep yourself hydrated when strolling or hiking.
7.) Shuttle Buses are available and free in the Sequoia National Park.
8.) Start your visit as early as you can. Not only to avoid the crowd at the entrance gate but to also enjoy the beauty of this park during Sunrise.
9.) Do not feed the wild animals, and keep your distance when you see one.
P.S. During our hike last weekend, they were not requiring a mask on the trail. But that probably changed due to the recent changes in Covid-19 protocols.

Check with ranger stations before going. The winter storms of 2022-2023 wrecked havoc with the roads, especially in burn areas, and there are still some closures (as of August, 2023).

Only just discovered your channel, saw the Top 10 sites to visit on Hwy 395; you did such a great job. Looking through other videos I found your Sequoia/Kings Canyon travel guide here and wanted to comment. As one who has been coming to many areas of The Sierras in all seasons for 50 years; if I had to pick only one place to recommend, it would be this.

Thank you, Mr. Peach. I totally agree with you. SNP is one of our favorites. Not only it is closer to where we live, but it has tons of things to offer. We have visited it many times and still haven't covered the whole area yet. lol
This was actually a great guide video I hit all of these areas except the falls but I ended up finding a beautiful lake tucked somewhere on the mountain… definitely planning another trip to go back

Thank you so much. Around March, the weather should be good unless there is still now, which they would require people to carry snow chains still. Where are you coming from? There are lots of lodging in Three Rivers, and also in Visalia, which is an hour from SNP's main entrance.

Hannah, 2 days would be ideal to fully enjoy each areas specially with a baby. This video is more like rushing pretty much for those who only have 1 day to spend in SNP. I would say spend 1 day in Sequoia and 1 day in Kings as well.
When coming in through car do you have to show ID or license at the entrance where you pay?
@TheWorldCruisers
Жыл бұрын
Hi There. If you own a military pass, or other special pass, they require ID to verify if you truly own the pass. If you purchase your access online, they will also ask for your ID to verify the ownership, as for driving through, they usually ask for an ID to verify your card unless you are paying cash.
Where do you recommend filling up for gas before entering the park ? So by car it’s like 3 hrs drive back and forth with all the stops once inside the park? Ty
@TheWorldCruisers
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Xavier, where are you coming from? We recommend filling up before going. Also, if you are only driving, it usually takes us 2 hours from Hanford to the General Sherman trailhead. With stops for photos, just within Seqouia, it would probably require at least 5 hours time frame (round trip).
