When's the best time to visit Sequoia National Park?

I have a love affair with trees. Surprisingly, I’ve seen the baobab trees in Madagascar, but I haven’t seen the sequoias in my home state of California. What’s the best time of the year to visit Sequoia National Park?

Wow! You’re certainly the international traveler. But if you want to see the biggest trees in the world at one of the most popular parks in
California
, it’s sure to take your breath away. The best time to visit Sequoia National Park is in the summer. Although crowds are heavier, you can enjoy stable weather that doesn’t often happen during the other months of the year.
Some of the top activities within Sequoia National Park include:
  • Seeing General Sherman. Standing 275 feet high, this tree is the biggest in the world.
  • Climbing the steps of Moro Rock. Four hundred steps carved out of the granite dome take you to the apex of the park, offering unbeatable views of the sequoia forest.
  • Hike to the top of Mt. Whitney. This hike is for in-shape adventurers with intermediate to advanced hiking skills. Mt. Whitney is over 14,000 feet high, making it the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States. It’s only 22 miles round trip, but the memories will last a lifetime.
While driving in Madagascar is probably far more dangerous than in California, making sure you’re protected is a smart move. Use the
