Sequoia National Park is a beautiful national park. We rode in from the South entrance on very nice tight twisties. Just inches from sure death most of the way up the mountain gives you a sense of adrenaline overload.

Last year one of these fell on an unoccupied parked jeep. See attached video.
Caught a whiff and then spotted smoke from the controlled burn just within the forest boundaries.
This is really a magnificent park with some of the most awesome trees and certainly the oldest in the world. As a whole, the park is well organized and maintained. However, sanitation facilities are not very good - bathrooms are in disrepair, showers are not all able to be used, and even the laundry room had two machines out of order. They are making thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, a day on the park with fees and souvenirs. It may be a case of money being collected by the Federal Govt. and not being redistributed back into the park system. Kinda wondered if maybe it could be handled better at a state level.
I could return many times and still look up and stare at these giants for hours!
