Road Trip Randy's video: Road Trip To Sequoia National Park

Road Trip To Sequoia National Park Last week I traveled to Sequoia National Park. The road trip took place over the New Year and we drove through the Sequoias in Central California. MY MAIN GEAR: Camera Body - http://amzn.to/2sNIhiE GoPro HERO 4 Black - http://amzn.to/2sNLw9R Rode Mic - http://amzn.to/2sNgQ8J Canon Lens- http://amzn.to/2sNPcIq Tokina Lens- http://amzn.to/2va7eWn GlideCam Stabilizer - http://amzn.to/2sNLwXj Camera Bag - http://amzn.to/2va3cgj Bobby's amazing camera - http://amzn.to/2ufCmal Sequoia National Park has been on my list for awhile now and I was happy to be able to finally check it off. And since it was winter, there was snow! Upon researching how to visit Sequoia, the first that kept popping up was snow chains. Because of the mountains and bad road conditions, it’d be near impossible to get through the forest without them. Although we learned snow chains are a pain to get on if you’ve never used them before. Things to do in Sequoia National Park: Another thing we learned from research the national park is that there are at least two must-see trees. The largest tree in the world (General Sherman) and the largest tree in the world (General Grant). They win the “largest” record because of their mass - not height or width. Even the ones that don’t break records are amazing. The Sequoia trees are massive. If you’re looking for how to road trip Sequoia National Park, another good tip is that you’ll be able to check out Kings Canyon National Park as well. The parks are right next to each other and the General Grant tree is technically in Kings Canyon. For where to stay at night, we stayed in the John Muir Lodge. They also have cabins nearby but because it was winter, and the cabins didn’t have bathrooms, we chose comfort. The lodge was great! The served meals at all times of the day (for a price) and were very helpful with answering all of our questions. All in all, our road trip to Sequoia was a success. The park is massive and there’s a lot of room to just get out and explore. There were some crowds near the popular spots, but overall they weren’t bad. Tip: A lot of the roads also close during the winter. So when you’re planning what you want to see, make sure to check if it’s open during the winter. For example the famous drive-your-car-through-a-tree Tunnel Log was closed :( If you’re planning a trip, here are some places to see in Sequoia NP: General Sherman Tree Congress trail Giant Forest Crescent Meadow Tunnel Log from the 1930s Moro Rock Grant Grove General Grant Tree Generals Highway. Connects the two parks and is very scenic Kings Canyon Panoramic Point? Hume Lake ^Those are a lot of the top rated places we tried to see, but some of them were closed for winter. Hope you enjoy the video.
