    Not a 100 giants...

    ... On this trail, but still a nice small park with impressive sequoia trees. Only 5$ to enter and you also get a nifty little brochure with information.

    Amazing place, must to see

    You fill really small😄 recommend to left car in bottom part and walk cca 8 km up to top of the park. Majority of visitors are just going by car to top part, however the walk across park is amazing!!!

    Wow. Worth a the drive and/or a detour from you itinerary.

    This was a highlight on our trip. The drive in from the the south gets gradually more scenic until you hit the Trail of the 100 Giants. These trees are amazing and the photos can only partially capture the true size. While entrance to the...More

    Worth the trip up from Kernville

    The short hiking trails around the huge trees was very enjoyable and quiet - not crowded at all. It is about an hours drive up from Kernville on a winding road, but well worth the trip.

    Nice, but maybe too popular?

    This is a very heavily used park setting for viewing some of the majestic Redwoods. A paved trail winds through and around some of the majestic trees. When we were there it was a little too crowded. A vendor runs the operation so you pay...More

    I don't see why not. Your phone will not have reception, when you get really high up. There is a restaurant with wifi (I believe) in Ponderosa if you need to search for directions or maps on your phone.
