Tokopah Falls

This trail is nice, pretty easy trail. Took about an hour to reach the falls while still taking time to enjoy the views and take pictures. The falls were mostly frozen now in December but still worth the hike. Once you reach the falls, the trail completely changes and gets very rocky, which is a nice change of scenery. The sun is setting about 430pm so make sure you plan accordingly so you can make it back on time.

This was one of my favorite things I did while on my vacation at Sequoia national park. The trail like every other i hiked was well kept. We went first thing in the morning cause I wanted to avoid big crowds and I'm so glad we did. Parking is limited if you want to park closest to the head trail. It was a moderate hike and it took us more than an hour to get to the falls but that will depend on your pace. The last 10 min of the trail it's rocky but doable. There are amazing views the whole way and pictures won't do them justice but take as many as you can. We encountered deers and a bear even follow us in a part of the trail...that was scary but a cool story now. The fall itself it's beautiful but dangerous so I wouldn't encourage to get as close as some people were when we visited. Take plenty of water and wear comfortable shoes.

A breathtaking & underrated hike, mostly shaded except the last 10 to 15 mins. This gem is inside the Sequoia National park and of course General Sherman and Grant deserve all the attention. However this is one trail that not too difficult and shouldn't be missed. It's a moderately difficult trail, but can be done if you pace and take breaks often. It naturally follows the river and hence you weave in and out of meadows and forests. The last 15 mins are exposed and rocky. The start of the trail is near a campground. I presume you could drive and park across the start of the trail, however I parked at Lodgepole visitor center, another 15 min walk away with better access to water, food and rest rooms. The entire hike would roughly take about 2 hours plus time you spend at the falls PRO TIP - Plan to start hiking about hour and half or so to sunset, the entire hike is spectacular and you will be treated some magnificent lighting and views all along the way. - Carry enough water. There are water filling stations at Lodgepole visitor center. - Stay on trails - Appears everyone would follow it, but surprising the extremes people would go for a picture. No pic is worth your limb or life and off trails are often places of re-vegetation by NPS. Respect nature and the efforts of NPS Staff.

Go for this trail! You have the best views of beautiful meadows in Sequoia National Park here! It is a 4 mile in and out trail, starting right at the lodgepole parking area, we even spotted a bear from far, Oh my god we saw poop a lot of it in the trail! It was a running trail, a lot of people at that time, gives you an amazing view! Rocky and little steep like around 525 feet, could complete it in 1 and half hour.

The waterfall was roaring and a beautiful prize at the end of the trail. The tra itself isn't hard, just long. We enjoyed tiptoing though mini creeks and crossing over natural bridges. Most of the trail is pretty cool. The rocky part (towards the of the trail) was pretty hot and sunny. Be sure to bring sunscreen.
