Entrance Fees

$15 per vehicle OR if you plan to visit more National Parks within the next 12 months I suggest you go ahead and purchase the America the Beautiful Pass (which can be found at the entrance gates to most national parks). This pass gets you into all National Parks, Forests, Monuments, and more including 2,000 sites for free after a one time $79 fee.

Gas

Fuel up fully before you get into the park. Drive times are longer than you might assume because there are no through roads. Drive times from some destinations can be hours apart. More on drive times below.

Cell Service

Cell Service is spotty in the park but there is reception here and there.

Best Time to Visit Sequoia National Park

The Best Time to Visit Sequoia National Park is August through October when temperatures are generally mild and weather is favorable. Wildfires are still a major risk during this time period so make sure your plans are flexible and have a plan in the event they impact your visit.

Restaurants & Food Options

Food options are available in the Sequoia area with a total of seven possible dining options spread throughout the park. The Wuksachi Lodge offers fine dining while other lodges and areas offer more casual options. Visit the park website for more information on food options in the park.
