I recently revisited Sequoia National Park with family, which is located in California. Park is around 4Hrs drive from San Francisco Bay area. Last time I visited this National Park was almost twenty years back. We started driving around 7AM from home, our first stop was for lunch at There Rivers, CA. We found this awesome Sandwich place on Google Maps. All these restaurants are still recovering from pandemic. Restaurant still hadn’t opened for dine in, however there was a nice patio outside facing the river was available to eat out.
Few shots of Sierra Sub at Three Rivers, CA just a few mile from the entrance of the national park, where we stopped for lunch.
It is always customary to take a picture at the entrance with the sign of national park. Here is the picture of Seqouia National park sign.
First stop inside the park was this Tunnel rock. you can also climb over this rock to take pictures.
On the way we stopped at few vista points for little photo shoot!
Here is a shot of giant Sequoias on either side of the road.
These days in most national parks in California you end up seeing wild fire devastation like above.
Next stop was at Moro Rock Trail. This is climbing a giant granite rock to go up and enjoy 360 degree view of the park.
Shot of fellow hikes climbing the rock!
You can see the winding roads we took to get to the park from the top of the rock!
Here is a shot of my wife and I on top of the Moro rock.
Here is another view on the way down from the Moro Rock.
You can get an idea of the size of these giant Sequoias in the park.
Next stop was at the ‘Tunnel Log’, as you see here they have carved a tunnel in the fallen giant sequoia. You can drive your cars through the Tunnel Log.
Here is another interesting fallen Sequoia called ‘Auto Log’ long time ago people used take pictures of their automobiles parked over this giant tree. They don’t allow you to do that any more, however you can walk on the tree.
Here is a shot of complete Auto Log!
There is little museum at the visitors center. From the visitor center you can take a stroll through Big Tree Trail, which is around a mile long, which circles a meadow.
Here is a shot of Big Tree Trail.

Well that’s me in between giant sequoia trees
This is another key place to visit in the park, which is called ‘The General Sherman Tree’. Which is supposed to be largest tree (by volume) in the world. It was a steep downhill from the parking lot to reach the tree and a quite a climb back.

Shot of another fallen tree, which gives an idea of the size of these giant sequoia!
Next day we visited Kings Canyon National park, which is right next to the Sequoia National Park. Will soon post details about our visit.
