Just purchased land 2 miles from the entrance of the park. Moving there in a week. Been travelling to the park for about 7 yrs. Its a place like no other rlly! Offering guide services. Property to camp on. Pursue your dreams!!Praise god!
How and where do i book for my stay?
Where and how to reserve a camp site? Planning on October!
Thank you!
Hi ! How’s it going living near the park? It’s an awesome idea!
Love to do the same and blow this popsicle joint!! Lol!!!
@Suzey C its awesome living here!
The weather has been strange and tumultuous this year but that is mountain life tho, isn't it!
Visited there in 2001 and 2015 from the UK. My most favourite place in the world! Can’t wait to visit again…
My wife and I were married 30 years ago in the Giant Forest, and we were just there this past weekend. I'm still in awe and wonder of this place, and always will be.
i will visit California this fall 2022 first time ever, and I am going to visit this park and also Yosemite. it is a dream that is going to be real soon.
Took my first trip to California last year. I didn't make it to Sequoia but I did camp in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. I dreamed about seeing the Giant Redwoods since I was a kid and let me say they exceeded everything I imagined. The narrator was correct, there are no pictures or words to do it justice. California is an amazing place.
Prarie creek redwoods funnily has more redwoods than redwoods state park, 2/3rds of the trees therw are planted
The US is such an amazing country 🇺🇲 I've been to here, Yosemite and Grand Canyon. Looking forward to visiting Yellowstone
Visited California two summers ago from my city of Amsterdam ('19) and man did a dream come true. I loved it and my experience was so much better thanks to you expedia

I grew up here. Now I live on the other side of the country. Nothing compares to the Sierras.
God bless America forever forever forever
This place looks like a dream
First time i felt so awe seeing the gigantic trees in tavel videos.. i wanna hug these sequoia trees in real..they have foot like elephants ..wow..so stunned.
"Living timelines, that remind us, that we have small parts in a story far greater than our own!" How very true and certainly puts things into perspective! Stunning natural beauty and informative video.
I don't believe the narrator used an exclamation after "our own."
But our story goes back before these tress so how is it far greater than ours?
I’m so excited to go to theses two places come June!!!!
maybe I'll see you there. not sure yet what dates we will be at Sequoia...
I practically had to drag my family to sequoia years ago. since that experience they all felt In love and now they make me take them every year sometimes twice a year since both the snow and summer times have beautiful differences. This it truly a magical place. Thankfully I’m only 5hr drive away from this beautiful place.
If visiting please make sure all roads are open and make sure you have the proper chains if driving during a snowfall. Try to avoid holidays and weekends if possible to better enjoy the day. Hopefully everyone gets to enjoy this place at least once.
We went there.
Going again.
What month do you recommend to go when it's nice weather and not full of tourists?
@@statikx1
The month of.JUNE.
MAYBE SEPTEMBER,
or OCTOBER.
@@statikx1 as a californian, who lives 2 hrs away from this park, it complicated but for sure, avoid summer time. summer will have the best weather up where the sequoia trees are at but not towards the bottom around foothills, it gets super hot in the valley. early fall time like september or october is the best time to avoid the tourists and have nice weather but the main con about it is that it's fall time so there will be a lack of GREEN. everything at lower elevation will be dried out but at least the sequoia forest will still be nice green forest thanks to high elevation but not at its best like spring time. i usually recommend late spring time. you will get great weather, everything is green but there can be a decent crowd. just be weary of weather. one time i went in MAY and it snowed!!! so like i said its complicated.. safest bet would be april-may.. going in fall can be 50-50 sometimes because parks can close quicker if there is/was a forest fire nearby from summer time..
My favorite places to go when I was a kid.
Most Beautiful forest in the world! ♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️♥️
There are no words to describe this incredible greatness of God !
I've been to Yosemite Park more than 5 times but never been to Sequoia National Park! It's time to go see this park on my next outing!
We will be visiting this national parks for the upcoming summer vacation
what a paradise and my dream of going to a place like this, all very beautiful!👏👏🥰
I hope you get the chance! Sequoia is beautiful!
Make true that dream !! Is more than beautiful!!! We’re going every year and always is a pleasure❤️god creation
My next place to visit for sure... Definitely Is gonna be my Dream .
I live like 2 hours away. It’s amazing.
Same I wanna take my mom when I get older and travel the world with her :)❤️
Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon! We usually stay in Visalia and spend one day at Sequoia and the next at Kings Canyon. The last time we stayed we booked a new boutique hotel in town, The Darling! WE LOVED IT! I can't wait to make the whole trip again.
Please tell me what the boutique hotel name was~~ We are taking a trip in June. Thank you in advance.
I just got done visiting this park 2 hours ago and will be back tomorrow!!
Truly magnificent! Even in December...
*Ive lived in CA for 6 years but haven’t been to either of these yet.. they’re absolutely gorgeous and I will make it there someday soon hopefully. Worth visiting for a resident or tourist. Those trees are unreal*
Add Yosemite to Sequoia and Kings.
If you get to go, I wish you the best! Enjoy the beautiful Nature.
It's one of my dreams getting to know those majestic giants.
You are so lucky. I wish I was born in California
Just go!! I’m currently on a 3 month road trip visiting about 25 national parks and national monuments. Next week I’ll be spending 5-6 days visiting Sequoia, Kings Canyon, and Yosemite. I’ve already seen them several times but each visit is a new adventure. While in Zion last week, I stayed in Kanab, Utah. Two employees at my hotel had never been to the Grand Canyon even though Kanab is less than a two hour drive to the north rim!! Living so close to such magnificent natural beauty and not making every effort to see it is beyond my comprehension. If you visit those California parks in October or early November before the snow comes, the crowds are sparse and lodging is a fraction of the high season prices. Again, just go!! Cheers and safe travels.
@@toddlevine9377 How do you manage to get so much travel done for pleasure ? I am curious because I hardly get 15 leaves in a year and just don't seem to get the time.
Love Expedia!
Just went back from there a week ago! I cannot agree more that the only way to experience the magnificence of the giant tree is to walk among them. No picture no words can fully express it
Yes. You have to be there to truly understand the magnificent size and beauty!
I went to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in July 2012. I first visited Kings Canyon, stayed there for 2 days. While there, I explored trails and did horseback riding. The next 3 days, I explored more trails, took a guided tour of the park, and explored Crystal Cave before heading home. To say that Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are beautiful is a big understatement! I am glad you got to enjoy the parks 😀.
Kings Canyon National Park's, Evolution Lakes and Rae Lakes are two of my favorite places in the world.
I am from Fresno and when I go to the Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks it just nice and I hike hills there with my fam
Such a beautiful video! Thanks Expedia. My third favourite video after Iceland and Yosemite.
It’s a beautiful video thank you I have visited Sequoia for 20 years I love it🥰🥰
Árvore Maravilhosa a Sequoia.
Gigante
Imponente
Perfeita
Linda
Wow ❤️
Just got stationed Naval Air Station Lemoore, CA. I can't wait to visit, its on my list to do!
This is some of the most beautiful country California has to offer
All of rural California is beautiful.
wow..!! It's incredible.Presentation is superb.We need more like this
I’ve been going every year for the last 5 years, my wife has been going since she was 2 years old and she’s 24. My favorite place in the world. I wish less people knew about it though. Don’t want it to turn into sequoia or Yosemite National park. I’m just being selfish lol
Lol yeah that makes sense. I’ve only been once but the trees are so awe inspiring. I could see them everyday and still be amazed.
How crowded is it? I don’t want to see a lot of people
@@bradcooper5667 it’s not too crowded, most people stop at sequoia where the mainstream crowd goes, little do they know, a 30 minute drive down to kings canyon and down to the river is amazing camping. Good chance to see a bear.
The entire Sierra Nevada is beautiful, majestic, and jaw-dropping, Sequoia/Kings Canyon is just a small sample. If you want to see the Sequoias, and want to avoid crowds entirely, find some cool, off-the-beaten-path groves outside of the parks. You'd have to do your own research to find them, but it's worth it
Spectacular! Great video, thank you...
Incredibly amazing sights
Que lugar ma-ra-vi-lho-soooo! Uau!
So want to travel here :)
Very beautiful trees👍👍
I would love to go back here. It's been ages.
I went in 2009, and I’ve always wanted to go back as well.
Amazing! What giant trees never seen in my life! . Ill pray that when i visit my American boyfriend in portland Oregon. I shall visit with him . Im from india... Thanks for sharing ...Stay blessed and stay safe! ❤🙏
I’m from India too. Enjoy!
Did u get there
Just amazing . . . . Thank you god . . . .
Gorgeous! Can't wait to visit 👍
Incredible, felt limited by adjectives. Thanks a lot for sharing it 😍😍😍😍Adding it to our travel list to capture our moments in our travel vlogs.
wow, didn't know how great this area is. fantastic
Estuve ahí el 18 de Agosto del 2021 , con mi mamá de 84 años, con silla de ruedas y mi sobrino de 22, fue una experiencia increíble un clima tan agradable , se los recomiendo al 100%, sí pueden hospedarse ahí adentro del bosque sería perfecto para tener más tiempo de verlo todo.
Yo voy para sequoia para Memorial Day, el fin de semana de Memorial Day por 5 días, te recomiendo que vayas a Yosemite está muy hermoso también
Beautiful Video 😍
It's a magic place. I love so much the wonderful séquoias 😍🌲⬆️🔝🆒️🤩🥰 💥💥💥💥💖💝 All is very beautiful 😯👌❤ Congratulations and thank you so much, Expedia. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😊🌹❤
The "reverential church-like" music takes away from this video. The majesty of the trees and landscape can stand on their own.
Amazing Trees..
Amazing place I would like to go there one day ❤❤❤❤
What a beautiful nature created, thank so much for this amazing 5 star video, lovely, lovely. 🎯
I am nature lover tour guide from paradise Costa Rica, I have being; so many times all over California for business and quite a few times for turism purpose, but not yet to Yellow Stone National Park.
One of my favorites States so far Alaska, Seattle, Oregon and ofcourse LOVE US Citizens from South Carolina and Boston. I love Native American, too much also. They are out of this world. 🌎
I am having so much fun, finally taking care of business with our lovely biodiversity in our paradise National Parks too. 🌎🌈💜
Best wishes from paradise Costa Rica. 🇨🇷
Pura vida.
God Bless America.
Namastè. 🕉
it's a great place to visit
I'll go there when I'll visit my sister in California hopefully next year..its really beautiful ❤️🏞️🏔️🌲
Magical place..
Wonderful!
Protect from fire!
the bark is fire retardant, and fires open the cones, releasing the seeds. fires aren't always bad (as long as it's a controlled fire, and not a wildfire)
Love this canyon
Really amazing place
This is my favorite!
How beautiful the So cool
Wow😱😱😱..that's way I love Nature and fan of nature🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗...my dream to visit like this place..after 1 years am coming Los Angles(LA).
Just amazing
this is my comfort video
A wonderful spiritual place to spend time with God.
Gorgeous
I was there for memorial weekend and experienced my first ever bear encounter, it was a wonderful experience😍
i had my first ever bear encounter there too! it happened on my drive there tho so i felt pretty safe lol (other than worrying for the dumb tourists who decided to get out of their cars to take closer pics..)
Its very weird because when you drive towards the giant forest it just starts out of nowhere and you will be shocked.
Su-su-superb!! 🏕
that'so amazing💖
Wow saquyaa tree is really old and gaint tree
Thank you so much
For great video
Thank you so much
Thanks expedia
God Bless CALIFORNIA ❤️🇺🇸❤️
LINDOOOOOOOO🙏🏼💙😍

Magnifique
I'm very enjoy this video my next trip thranks u so much
God bless you
wowwww that was an incredible video. Amazing job on the filming of this video.
Wow amazing good thing I came up on this video going there next week
Truly an awe inspiring place to see
I wanna visit there soon!
Nice 👍👌
Majestic :)
One of the best parks I’ve ever visited. And you must go to the caverns!! I have to come back here!!
Will visit in 2045 when covid is gone
Bold of you to assume it’s gonna be gone by this century
Plandemic u mean
COVID was/is an evil spirit. It devours humanity and goodness.
Those trees though. The Grant tree and Sequoia trees.
The grant tree is a sequoia
that is amazing paradice in California i well hope soon go to visit the sequoias and all the forest as i can as a posible
As someone who lives in California, I highly recommend. The forests here are in a league of their own. But be careful during certain times of the year, as wildfires get out of control very often
IT LIKES THE PART OF HEAVEN.....
I love this place so much, it’s my profile pic!
Me too. Ive been in Visalia for several years... Now I'm retiring to property a few miles away from the park entrance.
Excellent Video
Ok Im sold! I want to elope here!
So nice! Very picturesque views. Btw I am watching you from Russia! Would like to visit these unbelievably fascinating places.
it was our first time to visit it on January 23rd 2021 and it was absolutely amazing. worth it
Hello Lu!
I am planning to go to this park for the first time layet this week. I wqs wondering if you could advise me on any trails to trek for a first timer. I am interested in seeing snow and hike through it or if you could tell me where I could find more information. Thank you!
@@diegoarias2766 Yo! im afraid I can advise you about any trails to trek as I and my family didn't try to hike because we had limited time to spend, but we would have hiked the Morro Rock if we had ample time. We drove up to general Sherman tree and the road was icy as it is common during winter and spring so don't forget to bring chains for your tires as it is required before you enter the park. If you're not aware there is a park's website you can visit and Im pretty sure you can find the things-to-do and maps. I hoped I helped you. and sorry for my english.
I want to give more than one like.
