- Come along with us on our first trip to Sequoia!
We went on our first trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park and had an incredible time seeing the Giant Sequoias they are known for! It was our first real experience camping in the cold so it made things a bit tougher but we made it through the night and had a beautiful day exploring everything Kings Canyon and Sequoia National park had to offer!
If you have any question feel free to leave them in the comments so I can help you out as much as I can!

I've tent camped quite a few times in this campground over the years, but haven't been there for at least 5 years. I have a reservation to go later this year with my niece who's never been tent camping. My favorite foods are beef short ribs which I cook ahead (boil 'til tender) & freeze in gallon zip lock bags with a dash of vinegar & seasonings, then just warm them over the fire pit. Chicken breasts with the rib meat/bones attached & try apricot jam on them while they're on the fire pit cooking. Kebobs with small steak pieces, mushroom, etc. on your skewer (avoid bringing highly fragrant food due to bears). Deviled eggs made in advance along with favorite crunchies like apple, carrot sticks for some fresh stuff. Corn on the cob, popcorn, sweet potato are all good to do on the camp firepit. Freeze some homemade food to heat up at camp, stew is a good choice or you can just make it at camp if you bring all your fixings.
Wow thank you so much for all those amazing ideas! I hope you have a great trip! We couldnt believe how beautiful it was up there. I've been lucky enough to have an awesome grandpa growing up and almost every year from 8 years old to 17 years old I got to go on a roadtrip with him to a almost the western half of the US and have been to a number of National Parks and Seqouia was incredible. Cant believe how close to home it is too!
Im for sure going to steal some of those ideas so thank you!
@@SeanLewisMedia Awesome reply, thank you! Cool grandpa experiences!
Putting this on my bucket list! Absolutely amazing Sean. Thanks for the great vid and thanks Sam for the narrative and laughs ❤
Well have to plan a trip soon:)
So cool. Great to watch your trip.
Thank you!
Beautiful Sean!
It was amazing!
Was this in November or October? Looks chilly!
Yes it was pretty brutal. It was the end of October. We definitely weren’t expecting the cold or prepped very well for it. Thanks for watching! Have fun if you go!
Guess we’ll have to wait until next September to go 😅
@@SeanLewisMedia I had the same question. We went about 15 years ago near the beginning of October & it was very cold at night and most of the morning.
What campsite # is this?
I just checked and it was site 31 in Lodgepole
