Americans are hitting the road and visiting national parks in record numbers. Visitation is up 15% at Sequoia National Park and all indicators point to a very busy summer.
These are some tips from the parks to reduce wait time at the entrance stations. The park will be operating four in-bound lanes to issue entrance permits and provide park information and maps. They have hired additional rangers to greet visitors and provide information about parking and shuttles. The rangers can help with questions about parking, restrooms, and general way finding.
Arrive Early
It helps to arrive earlier in the day as the crunch period is 10am to 3pm daily. Plan your trip using information available on (www.nps.gov/seki) that will help improve your experience.
