Q. we are planning a trip to sequoia national park, we are not sure if we need to rent a SUV or not. the car we are driving is Corola. will be that ok? thanks. we will be driving from LA to sequoia national park. Asked by mlcy44 - Thu Jan 17 01:04:20 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hi. I have made this drive three times. The actual road once you get into the park is very twisty, there are lots of switchbacks going up the mountains. You will need to concentrate for a good hour or so to get up to the top. So I would highly suggest to take a car you are comfortable driving. The main roads in Sequoia are all paved so you won't be doing any off-roading if that is what you were worried about. If you actually want to go off-roading you can do that in Mineral King park next to Sequoia Forest. Honestly, the high center of gravity in a SUV is going to be a bad idea.

I would like to know of some good camp grounds in sequoia national park, I preffer something close to the water and something with showers. I plan to be there from may 2nd to the 4rth or 5fth. Asked by BIJU P - Mon Apr 14 14:52:40 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I haven't been to Sequoia in a long time, so I'm basing my answer from information on the NPS Sequoia webpage. As far as being open in early May, I think these are your only options: Azalea (has showers, but they may not be open for the summer yet), Buckeye Flat (along a river, but no showers), Canyon View (has showers, but campground might not be open for the summer yet), Lodgepole (along river, showers probably not opened for the summer), Potwisha (along a river), Sentinel (showers). This link has pretty much all the information you'd ever want to know about camping in the park: You can always contact the park before you leave to find out what is actually open and get updated conditions before you go. 1-559-565-3341 Answered by gcbaby601 - Wed Apr 16 11:34:22 2008 Why is the Alpine National park so important to Australia?
