June 27, 2024 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

While a car is recommended for getting around, during the summer parking can be hard to come by at the more popular attractions. Once inside the park, you can pick up the park’s free shuttle, which stops at key destinations, such as the General Sherman Tree and Moro Rock. For a reasonable fee, the Sequoia Shuttle picks up passengers in Visalia, located 35 miles to the west, for the 45-minute drive to the park, passing through the hamlet of Three Rivers then continuing to the Giant Forest Museum.
