Unknown Sequoia National Park

- As seen on Travel Channel. Sequoia is such a well-kept secret, that they call it "The Hidden Park." When you come, you might not believe how tall these are. There's a drive-thru tree that you can drive through just because you can. And while you're at the national park, check out the 1500 plant species. Also check out the secret cave system, right below its trees - Crystal Cave.

Sequoia National Park is beautiful. Amazing describes the giant and massive trees.
Awesome Filming, Editing and sharing of this video. 5 thumbs up
Amazing! This place definitely goes to my bucket list!
Forget the park the forest is a million times better
Very well done... looking forward to exploring your site!
is in my bucket list.
Hopefully you get to go soon, Dany!
This is one of the reasons why I love California. Its a beautiful state with so much to offer, I miss it so much
mitzkitty Me too. The western states are so beautiful.
Had no idea about he caves. Sweet!! Thanks
Glad you learned something new! This park lives in Yosemite's shadow, but it is worth checking out FOR SURE!
I liked the caves too
Sequoia National Park is so gorgeous! I’m definitely coming back again next year
The forest is way more beautiful in my opinion
What some of you may not know, is that Sequoia National Park is neighbored to the north by Kings Canyon National Park. They're practically joined at the hip. You enter these two parks from Highway 198 in California, either the south entrance from Visalia, California where you reach Sequoia first. Or from the north entrance from Fresno where you reach Kings Canyon first. About halfway through this beautiful country up there along 198, you reach the other park, no matter which direction you come from. If you plan on going up there for a camping trip, Lodgepole and Dorst Creek campgrounds are the most popular up there. The area is significantly populated by Black Bears, so make sure your gear is secured when you're up there. The bears are more of a nuisance then a danger, for they love to go after people food. There are lockers up there at each camp site to secure your food gear. There is plenty of hiking and other activities up there. Its breathtakingly beautiful. I highly recommend it to any new visitors.
The forest is better
Had a brief visit there about 40 years ago; overnight at the park lodge. One thing that sticks in my memory is the incredibly sweet odor in the neighborhood of the sequoias--I assume from their bark or wood. (Or perhaps from some other trees or bushes surrounding them??) You can see all the wonderful photos and videos, but nothing in the guidebooks prepares one for the scents--I also rate highly the piny (?) scent as I walked the rim trail on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and the wonderful sun-warmed pine scent on Calif. route 44 between Redding and the entrance to Lassen Volcanic NP. No air freshener can match it! Also (back to Sequoia), the hummingbirds at the feeders outside the dining room at breakfast time ... Highly recommend this park; wish we'd had time to get to Kings Canyon.
Thank you for this. :D
I am going there this summer FGW and, from there, we're going to explore the Pikes Peak in Colorado: its worth a trip!
Informative Redwood video
I like the videos though. Keep um coming!
Thanks for watching! We've got many more videos in the queue!
This place is visited by people around the world. There are tons of people go there. I know I grew up in visalia been going there all my life
There was a racetrack in the videogame "Jet Moto 3" called Sequoia Forest. I would've never guess that this forest is an actual place.
Awesome video! Correction on one thing. General Sherman is not the largest living thing on Earth. The Aspen in park City is. They share a common root system and are clones of themselves so the forest is basically one living organism.
Thanks alot
beatuifull trees
It is a beautiful place to visit went in March
A stalactite holds on "tite" to the ceiling. A stalagmite "mite" get up there someday. LOL
A good one! I learned stalaCtite hangs from the Ceiling, while a stalaGmite grows up from the Ground.
Awesome
I have finished watching this video completely.
(我看完這部影片了)
I am a Taiwanese who cares about the global affairs.
(我是一個關心全球事務的台灣人)
And, sadly, most of my fellow Taiwanese don't really care about the world.
(但是，很不幸地，我大部分的台灣同胞不那麼在意世界。)
Hopefully Taiwan can become increasingly globally-aware and globally-competitive.
(希望台灣可以越來越有全球意識與全球競爭力。)
God bless Taiwan.
(天佑台灣。)
It's not so much of a secret anymore. The park has become so popular lately that it's always booming with travelers!
Its hard to find those kind trees
Imagine having one of this in your garden :)
woah...
I like Moro rock so cold up there
One of the best 🌲 on the earth
The USA are a beatiful country...countless sites and marvels to discover!
Cool 😎
The giant trees in Sequoia are amazing! Whitney is "only 14,505", not 15,000, it's the highest in the Lower 48 but not all of the U.S.; enjoyed the black bear and three tarantulas we found on our way back down to Visalia.
Cuando quieran venir avisenme. Vivo a hora y media de Seqoia National Park en Visalia Ca.
Amazing tree siquoia
It really is. Have you seen them up front?
maybe
Um..Mt.Whitney is only 14,505 feet..
Yeah Denali is much taller but no one considers Alaska.
Omg, I live in California!!
But everyone is beautiful and special in their own way
Best state because of the geological diversity. Hawaii and Alaska are second and third. Colorado 4th Wyoming 5th Utah 6th Arizona 7th Nevada 8th and then there are the rest.
Devin Dash Washington is up there as well and Oregon...
Oregon is mind blowing, just like Alaska
Sure can depend on point of view, but OR & WA are pretty good. None of the ones Devin Dash listed has anything like the Columbia River Gorge, Crater Lake, etc.. So it's hard to really rate states.
In terms of geological diversity you're right. Not sure it makes it the 'best." But as a Californian I sure dig it. There's no where else you can go from big desert to 11K+ to the ocean in one day.
Mario Vaden Oregon don’t got good beaches desert along with these Forrest
Yes. Great. Ancient home of Cherokee.
Buckeye flats in late August early September Labor Day you’ll fall in love no sound you will look forward to it every year trust me.
kust got back from the trip from there
The BEST thing to do to explore is get a topographical map and follow the "FIRE ROADS".
Puppy Bonz saludos cordiales México Reclama su territorio pertenece a México sabías?
starting from 1.55 is this the park or the forest ? where is that place ?
?
General Sherman is the actual size of a single limb of the big boy trees that long ago dotted the globe for a small example let's look at devil's tower in Wyoming. It stood about 53 miles tall
ahhaha .........so funny !
my name is sequioa lol
u must have a big wood... what?!
That are some giant trees...yea that's how I memorise stalactite ,t for top and stalagmite g for ground 😂😂😂
A stalactite holds on "tite" to the ceiling. A stalagmite "mite" get up there someday. LOL
Ive been everywhere in what this video is saying
Kings Canyon and Seqouia are joint parks and going there is better than yosemite. The landscape is greener and filled with seqouias compared to yosemite which is in the sierra national forest which is rockier and not as accesible backcountry as Seqouia
It's a goal
Not sure how long they will be around! Weather, humans, lightning, Fires, who knows?
They are strong bois! They can withstand a lot
Actually, giant sequoias might not be here long after us as they're endangered.
We named our daughter Sequoia
Great name!
Love it. I want to name mine Sequoia too and Sedona if I have a second one.
СALIFORNIA 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
have to watch this because of school, who else?
We are seeing thanks we'll because the Lord is I am I AM
"For He is Creation that we are blissful" so give thanks. Amen
Wtf
woodpeckers
You forgot Moro rock
woodpecker
...but it's not unknown at all, it's extremely well known...
We are boondockers is there free camping
I am from Asia and want to visit this place. One question: are there dangerous animals like bears?
Yes, there are bears there but not grizzly bears. The park guides can advise you about safety around bears.
Plus the only real dangerous bears are cocky beefy males and mothers with cubs
I wouldn’t say it was unknown but very well known, WTH. They cut down readwoods for years till they limited the timber industry. They made water towers made of redwood for hundred years and they made siding and shingles too. Where do you get your info???
Eric Van Eck these are sequoia! Not redwood. Redwoods are sequoia’s taller and thinner relative. Redwoods only live in the north coast of California
You miss the point but just want to nit pick. The timber industry really didn’t really care which one it was they cut down.
Eric Van Eck seemed like you were nit picking about the info they gave in the video...
I cannot hold a grudge I am a wolf
And I am a water!
yo soy mexicana, o sea en español nenes
:D
I went to sequoia when I was 15 years old I’m now 34 I been going camping their every single year felt in love with it and still haven’t conquered everything is heaven on eart that’s all I got too say👍
Have you gone to forest?
I want to visit America ! I'm European :))
Once your live here, you will not want to leave
You will until 2020 ends
And let’s hope and fight for a better future for this county and the world, cause we’re all connected at the end of the day!
💙
you gotta stay at montecito sequoialodge if you go
That tree is older than Jesus
proliferative
"Siellä kasvaa Sequoia"
can they grow in the Philippines
jeriah chua no
I am rich. My wolf is the best wolf
Unfortunately there arent any wolves
@Your Mom Unfortunately there aren’t any people who still make your mom jokes
*jk, it was too easy (:
I hate it when it's a promotional video for a beautiful peaceful natural place and they choose heavy metal electric guitar for the background music. As if we're going to want to go there and do some headbangin.
Ima prekratkih kadrova. Kadrovi ne bi smjeli biti kraći od 5 sekundi.
Mt. McKinley (Denali) in Alaska is the tallest mountain in the U.S. - not Mt. Whitney.
Continental US. Whoever wrote this piece made a number of other errors.
Lisa Hickson
I always consider Alaska as part of the "continental US", considering it's on the same continent. I think perhaps "contiguous US" is the correct term... but who knows, maybe it's used interchangeably? :)
I always heard "continental" but maybe that term is antiquated now? But Wikipedia says contiguous, so I'll go with that from now on. Thank you for this little bit of enlightenment :-)
PrimeNavigator The contiguous (continuous) states are those that are "connected". IE: "the lower 48". Alaska is part of the continental US. The term is not antiquated but has a different meaning and they are not interchangable.
What Moran, would want to destroy, such magnificent beautiful, trees,..? This is why I am an advocate for the use of plastic, instead of paper. Stop using paper packaging, and use plastic, It would also, create new jobs, all across the board,...! I would rather re-use plastic, for every thing, then kill such a beautiful creation,..? I pray that my idea will come to light, one day,..! 1-23-2019 Evona A Grochowski.
I wish it could be that way but most plastic is not re used cause our government doesn’t wanna pay for the costs of doing all that and just toss more and more into landfills. I feel that neither paper or plastic should be used but a biodegradable in between that falls apart quickly after use so nothing gets chocked or eats it.
Mt. Whitney is not 15,000 feet. It is 14,500 and a nickle.
Too bad that one tree you can drive through fell down from the storm and broke apart.
That was a different redwood at another park close by. I just got back from sequioa /kings canyon np yesterday and drove through the sequoia there. It's ny moro rock.
@@marcusporras9571 - Ahh ok thanks.
