  The hike is really nice! It’s around 3-4 miles round trip. It’s April and there was a lot of snow, so I highly recommend BOOTS and not sneakers or your feet will get soaked and you’ll slip a bit easier.

  Amazing Sequoias! There’s a few places to see them. The first few are about a mile and a half down the trail. If you walk about another 1/10 of a mile you can see quite a few more. Hiking back is tough because it’s a slight incline most of the way back, but well worth it!! Saw two deer on the way back about 20 years away from us.
