giant forest

巨大的美洲杉，树洞可以容纳下10多个人，令人啧啧称奇。树龄普遍有300年以上，可见美国人保护环境的力度还是相当强大的。这里有无数的美洲杉，来的时候积雪还没有化，如此相映成趣，真是一片美景让人流连忘返。

Beautiful drives through curving, switchback roads. Trees big enough to build a cabin in. Hiking, picnic areas. The walk to see the General Sherman tree is quite taxing, especially for anyone with knee problems. A steep walk on a well maintained path.

Big grove, easy access trail, wheelchair friendly. Interesting trees, old log cabins, and downed sequoias. Wildlife and plenty of flora. Just off Highway 180, a must-see!

the seqoias are something that everyone should make an effort in their lifetime to see. There is simply nothing else that compares to them

After five-hour drive from Los Angeles I and my coleagues stepped into the forest of giant sequoia trees. The scenery in the forest is amazing.

Loved hiking through the snow in the winter. Only saw 4 other people! When hiking through the forest it is like the giant trees are hiding as you come upon one after the other. Simply amazing!

This is what got me back into hiking years ago. Walking through this beautiful forest...moving a little off the trail to find a private spot to have lunch, read a book...just kick back. Really special...you have to see these wonderful trees!

You won't see so many of the largest trees in the world anywhere else. Great time to go - not crowded. Wait until the the snow is gone.

Beautiful place. The up of road is not easy, you need time.See that trees was amazing. The biggest living being in front of you that's nice!

It is a thrill that you walk among trees were little ones when Jesus born. Just think about the history. Both national parks Sequoia and Kings Canyon are well organized and tourist friendly. We met some road works that time but all staff was helpful.

The rangers were eaily available to ask questions/take pictures, and were friendly but weren't pushy about talking with guests. The path was easy to navigate and paved. The markers were informative and interesting.

Our family visited this breathtakingly, beautiful place in December, and fell in love. It's been a dream/bucket list item for me to hug one of these beautiful giants. Not only was the drive up beautiful, but with each turn, we got more and more excited. The sight of the first Sequoia brought on such joy....simply indescribable! The experience was surreal, especially having experienced the sunset over the clouds, as well. We arrived late the first day and couldn't be deterred from going up. We reached the Giant Forest close to 5 pm. We quickly visited the General Sherman, and headed back down the hill, knowing that we'd be back the next morning. Upon our descend we experienced one of the most beautiful sunsets. The kind where you forget to breathe because it's so enchanting. The next morning we returned and walked through the Giant Forest's snowy paths, incessantly taking pictures and taking it all in. I will always cherish our trip to see these amazing trees!

Nice area for a walk. Went in the winter and it was beautiful. Would like to go back in the summer. Don't let the winter keep you from coming.

We visited in December with the intention of driving the 198 from the South via Three Rivers up to the 180 at King's Canyon. Unfortunately, the road was closed north of the Wuksachi Lodge. Snow chains had to be used even before we got to the Giant Forest Museum, which made for slow going.Despite that, it was absolutely beautiful. Snow covered forests and the giant Sequoia trees were majestic. Some in our party had never played in snow and they had a ball! It's amazing how big these threes grow, from just a tiny seed. The Giant Forest museum isn't large but the exhibits give a very good explanation regarding these beautiful trees.The rangers were happy to explain and going in winter meant you had plenty of space to enjoy the scenery and take pics. Be well prepared if you intend to hike as it was cold and slippery on the trails.

It is hard to get enough of these huge giants. Whats not to love about a beautiful fall morning spent among these beauties? The only thing that could top it is spending a lifetime watching them grow.
