Wonderful, peaceful place. Almost an out-of-world or surreal experience to be surrounded by such ancient living things. One of my favorite places on earth.

An amazing place. The tourist trail is perfect if you're pressed for time. Take at least an hour to complete. Looking up is incredible.

We visited this place to see the trees. If you are in San Fransisco and want to see the Redwoods, it is just over the Golden Gate Bridge and doesn't take long to get here. 

It's $10 per person to enter for each adult. The Park Rangers are a wealth of knowledge and can direct you where to walk based on your level of fitness. 

Understand that if you are a true outdoors person, you will have to deal with a lot of plundering as there are a ton of people here with their families. 

There is no cell phone service so you won't have to listen to people talk of the phone like the Kardashians or people walking around on FaceTime with their head in their ass. This makes it a peaceful area.  There is a pay phone if you need to call a cab to get home. 

Parking is nothing short of a royal pain in the ass. You will have to damn near run over the parking attendants who try to swat you away like a fly. Just be persistent or avoid the weekends.

Had a great time exploring the beauty of this location. Took the loop trail up and around bridge 4 and really enjoyed the various views of the redwoods this afforded, especially on the hillside trail on the return leg. Thankfully we were on a bus tour, so we didn't have to worry about traffic, but it was quite crowded while we were there, between 1445-1600, with a lot of people on the trails. Hoping to return some time and explore some of the many other trails that are available.

When visiting be sure to arrive on a motorcycle or in a RV, because there’s, like, 40 parking spaces available for cars. There were plenty of RV/bus spots open.

This place has Sequoias, but they're not *giant* Sequoias. Still cool, though. They also have organic cold brewed ice coffee — not sure what “organic” means in this context.

If you can't find a parking spot in the lot, you will have to fallback to attempting to park along the narrow, windy road. There's very little space on the shoulder and no shortage of morons who don't know how to pull completely off the road when parking. The best thing to do is stalk the parking lot and wait for a car to come out. The parking attendant won't want you to do that, so just pretend like you have your head up your a** and don't know how to drive so you can stay put until a spot opens. When the attendant opens the gate, proceed in as if you believed he was waving you in and he will be forced to allow you entry. He won't ask you to back up because you previously established your cluelessness.

There's no WiFi or cell service here, so it'll be like a throwback to the 1920’s before Internet existed. Forget summoning an Uber. There's a Pay Phone (see photo if you're under 30) with which you can use to call a cab. Use the Yellow Pages to locate a cab company. I do not know how much that cab ride would cost, and I'm okay with that.
