Trekking in Sequoia National Park

It's the ultimate adventure. No where else on earth can you wander through serene forests of Giant Sequoias and gaze back from peaks over 14,000 ft high. Looking down from the top of a monstrous peak, you see the land you just approached on from a whole new vantage point. The sense of environmental awareness you get from trekking the High Sierra is uncanny. Getting high in Sequoia unleashes your sixth sense.

Sequoia National Park is the nation's best kept secret. In it lies the heart of the High Sierra. There's everything from the world's largest tree, the Giant Sequoia, to hot springs in the middle of the wilderness. Mt. Whitney, the largest peak in the continental U.S. sits on the eastern side of the Park, surrounded by neighboring giants and breathtaking alpine lakes.

Every corner you turn hiking up the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, you are surprised by a complete change in landscape. What was forest is now open alpine meadows with streams and butterflies. The next turn you make, you come up to a lake and find a bighorn sheep standing guard on the high slopes above.

Trekking across one unique mountain environment to the next, you start to feel like a part of nature. As you move eastward up the western slope of the Sierra, the landscape changes so frequently that you cannot help but notice it. With the changing landscape comes a wide variety of wildlife and uniques habitats. You become aware of everything around you. Life is in full color. Intrigued and relaxed, you have opened the window to your natural flow.
