ABOUT YOUR HOST: I am a local expert and professional guide that will lead you "in a adventurous getaway", walking amongst our giant sequoias redwoods and getting to know the history and stories of this area. I will provide you with insight to any of the National Park's highlights; human history, and current environmental information about Sequoia National Park.
While on the trail we will take some time to enjoy our lunch and snacks under the magnificent sequoia tress.
After our rewarding hike, we will end our hike with a breathtaking sunset viewpoint, then depart.
While there are millions of visitors every year, this guided tour will give you a lot of insight and the experience you wouldn't get on your own! I am very passionate about sharing these awesome trails with others while teaching and giving outdoor recreation tips!
