Tips

There is a fee to enter Kings Canyon National Park to see the amazing trees, either with an annual pass or per vehicle. If you enter on foot or bike, the cost is per person. There is continuous work during the 2023 season to repair roads from winter damage along Generals Highway, so expect delays in this area. Parking and vehicle access may also be limited.

The remarkable Sequoias have received nicknames from humans, and "the General Grant" that you are going to meet during this walk belongs to this category.

The word Sequoia comes from the Cherokee language.

Sequoyah (1770 -1843) was indeed a Cherokee goldsmith inventor of the syllabary of his language. The name was chosen to name this tree by the Austrian botanist Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher.
