If 10 Stars Was An Option, That’s What I’d Rate It! Best tour ever! It was so nice to be picked up and dropped off at our lodging. He was prompt and so very attentive. We learned SO MUCH about this beautiful area.

What You'll See and Do
Throughout your day we travel in many landscapes as we make our way to the largest trees in the world. We pass through forgotten California cattle ranches and rich central valley farm country, where we stop to walk through orchards of oranges. Then arrive at the nation’s Christmas tree, The General Grant Tree towering at over 265ft tall and at a base diameter of almost 29ft, it’s one of the largest trees in the world. The tree stands amongst countless other sequoias. We will walk through a giant sequoia learning about their relationship with fire. Will visit an old pioneer cabin and learn of the first Europeans to enter the area. Visiting a stump of a sequoia the logging tale will be told. The first peoples on the land, native Americans their story is shared and a host of others.
For those so inclined, a snow shoe walk through a beautiful meadow is available before we start our descent from the park and back to your lodging.
We look forward to sharing these amazing places with you and your family!

Amazing tour in the middle of winter. Paul was a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide of this beautiful region. We were able to see sights that not many people see when they visit the park for the day and Paul (our guide) gave us a great insight into the park itself. Thank you for a great day! Would highly recommend to everyone.
