Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Sequoia tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Up ahead is Tunnel Log, a fallen giant sequoia with a road cut through its trunk. The tree fell naturally in nineteen thirty-seven; the tunnel was carved the following summer to attract visitors.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in Sequoia.
“You're coming up on the General Sherman Tree area, home to the world's largest tree by trunk volume.”
Heads up Crowds often gather around the tree and photo area.
“Up ahead is Moro Rock, a granite dome with a stairway above the forest to views of the Great Western Divide.”
Heads up Steep, exposed stairs can be strenuous and uncomfortable for people uneasy with heights.
“You're nearing the parking area for Crystal Cave, a marble cavern with hanging mineral draperies and stalagmites. If you enjoy geology, this makes a good change from the giant trees.”
Heads up The steep, stair-filled return climb is strenuous.
+ 70 more stories across Sequoia: President Tree, Hospital Rock, Beetle Rock, Crescent Meadow, Tharp's Log, The Senate, Alta Peak, Sunset Rock and more.
