The stops
Travel time, priorities and our practical take.
01
Moro Rock
Must do
The long morning transfer leads directly into the park and the Moro Rock area.
Our take
Start early and protect this stop while energy is still high.
02
General Sherman Tree
Must do
Visit General Sherman and continue through the Giant Forest.
Our take
The essential sequoia experience of the day.
03
Giant Forest
Must do
Walk among the giant sequoias around the General Sherman area.
Our take
Spend the flexible part of the day here rather than rushing through the grove.
04
General Grant Tree Forest
Optional
An additional giant-sequoia stop if time and energy allow.
Our take
Worth keeping only if the earlier park stops have run smoothly.

The long transfer pays off once you are among the giant sequoias.
General Sherman and the Giant Forest are the core experiences. Moro Rock and General Grant Tree Forest worth it too.
