From Visalia, the closest route to the Park entrance is to take the 198 up into the mountains. You will pass Kaweah Lake and Kaweah River which has tons of wonderful swimming and hiking spots. There is also a small town called Three Rivers that is very charming and has a few restaurants. Hwy 198 will take you past all of this and take you straight to the Park Entrance.

Sequoia National Park was the first park created to protect a living organism. Sequoias are the oldest and largest living thing. Found only in the unique environment of the western Sierra, the massive sequoia trees grow at between 5,000 and 8,000 feet in elevation. The relatively mild winters at that elevation, along with a traditional history of fire, has made the mid-Sierra zone the perfect habitat for sequoias. To protect the giant sequoias from logging, Sequoia National Park was established in 1890. Be sure to stop in Three Rivers on your way up and check out Reimer's Candy and Gifts - they have delicious ice cream.

Central Coast
Paso Robles (originally El Paso de Robles) is Spanish for “The Pass of the Oaks”. The area is located about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco in the wine region known as the "Central Coast". Called "Paso" by California locals, the city sits on the eastern side of the Santa Lucia Coastal Mountain Range, with elevations from 675 to 1,100 feet. The actual Paso Robles AVA (American Viticultural Area) has over 26,000 acres planted with over 40 wine grape varieties. It has quickly become one of the most exciting wine regions in California.
