Middle Fork Trail - Sequoia National Park

Overview: This trail is best travelled in the Spring months. The progression from the Foothills to a secluded giant sequoia grove makes it diverse. It is also possible to hook up with a more extensive trail system which can lead you north to Giant Forest or south to Mineral King.

Tips: The first couple miles are exposed so be sure to bring sunscreen and a hat. You will encounter several creek crossings, so be sure to be safe when crossing the rivers. Also, watch for rattlesnakes sunning themselves on the trail. Aim to hike this trail in the middle of June so that you can see the wildflowers in full bloom.
