***Visitor Tips
Before diving into the hike details, here are a few tips for visiting Sequoia National Forest:
There is limited to no reception at many of these trails. Before you head out on any of the hikes we suggest that you download an offline route on AllTrails hiking apps to avoid getting lost or taking the wrong turn.
It’s free to visit and hike in Sequoia National Forest (except for the Trail of 100 Giants that does require a small fee for parking).
When heading on these hikes be sure to bring extra water and check the weather before leaving. The temperatures at Sequoia National Forest can be extremely hot, especially in the summer. I’ve underestimated the weather in this region before and it can lead to dangerous situations. If you’re hiking near water sources, I also recommend bringing a Sawyer water filter so you can replenish your drinking water.
Bring mineral sunscreen, lip balm, polarized sunglasses, and a hiking hat as our California summers just keep getting hotter and hotter.
I always pack a first aid kit, headlamp, and a portable phone charger, even on quick day hikes. It’s always best to go prepared!
***Sequoia National Forest is also very dog friendly. Here’s a couple of things that I bring along when hiking with my dog:

DON’T CONFUSE FOREST FOR NATIONAL PARK
Sequoia National Forest is one of the best and easiest-to-access outdoor areas in Central California. Filled with dramatic mountains, lush trees, hidden hot springs, and roaring rivers, Sequoia National Forest is a true California gem for those who love the outdoors.
Not to be confused with Sequoia National Park, Sequoia National Forest is free to visit and offers many incredible hiking and camping options.
