Seeing the sequoia trees was on my mom's bucket list so we made it happen! There were so many options that accomodated her arthritis issues - Grant's Grove was a favorite! Full review by beastmode937

What an amazing place to see. We arrived around 7am so there was nobody at the entrance and everybody was just driving thru. We had already purchased our ticket but not big deal as all money going to… Full review by Mouzouris

Stunning scenery just by driving. Plenty of trails for every hiking level/experience. Make sure to stop by the museum/visitor center, then take the paved path down to see the General Sherman Full review by 2RunningWild

My husband and I (late 70s, numerous hip and knee surgeries) were there in May. A lot of the parks, mostly in Kings Canyon, were still closed because of the flooding and landslides . Check the park web site for up-to-date information. We stayed at Buckeye Tree lodge in Three Rivers, just a few miles outside the Foothills Visitor Center. Highly recommend both the lodge and the town. Both parks have lots of trails, ranging from handicap-accessible paved or smooth dirt -- our speed! -- up to mountain-goat level. Too many to name here. Hume Lake is lovely, easy to get to, walk as much of the loop trail as you like, or just relax in one of the lakeside Adirondack-style loungers and watch the loons. Not to miss is the General Sherman Tree and the Giants Forest, both just off the General's Highway. You can wander among the trees on smooth trails that give you a real idea of the size of these biggies. Down south you can drive to Hospital Rock, good picnic spot and check out the pictographs on the rock, Also plenty of spots just pull off the road and enjoy the view. Hope you enjoy your trip.
