Been told you need to touch grass? Here’s where you should go 🌿

As a lifelong resident of the Golden State, these some of my favorite places to visit in California when I want to spend quality time in nature and disconnect from the world:

⇢ Big Sur - the gem of the Central Coast, and the place to go for oceanside hiking and amazing drives along the Pacific Coast Highway.

⇢ Lake Tahoe - a beauty year-round! Go from the late spring through the fall for hikes and time on the water, or go in the snowy season for winter sports.

⇢ Sequoia National Park - see the massive sequoias in the Giant Forest, and enjoy some of the many incredible hiking trails!

⇢ Joshua Tree National Park - a fun Southern California escape! Explore the otherworldly desert landscape, and enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets.

⇢ Point Reyes National Seashore - an easy getaway from San Francisco! A seaside destination in Northern California with coastal views and beautiful hikes.

⇢ Idyllwild - one of my favorite California destinations for a mountain getaway! Explore the hiking trails and breathe in the fresh mountain air.

4 Sequoia National Park hikes worth adding to your itinerary! 🌲✨

Here’s a bit more about these incredible Sequoia trails…

⇢ Tokopah Falls - even if there isn’t water at the falls (there wasn’t any during my late summer visit), this hike is well-worth doing. The scenic views of the valley are incredible! It’s also known for being a great trail to see wildlife…I saw deer and a bear!

⇢ Congress Trail - my favorite trail in Sequoia! You hike underneath groups of mature sequoia trees, including the House and Senate groups, as well as massive trees like Chief Sequoyah and McKinley Tree. The trailhead is also right by General Sherman (the largest tree in the world by volume!).

⇢ Moro Rock Trail - it’s short, but the hike is spicy…you climb up around 350 stairs to get to the top! Once you make it to the top of the massive granite dome, you’re met with incredible panoramic views. An amazing spot for sunrise or sunset!

⇢ Big Trees Trail - a super easy, incredibly lovely paved path where you see both mature and young sequoia trees. There are educational signs along the path, where you can learn about the life cycles of sequoias. The hike itself is under a mile, but if you walk over from the Giant Forest museum, it’s around a 1.2-mile journey.

Snaps of some of my favorite moments from my long weekend in Sequoia National Park…

⇢ Hiking to Tokopah Falls (photos 1 & 2) - there wasn’t any water at the falls, but the hike was still gorgeous! A different vibe from the other top hikes in the park (no sequoias here!), and the views were incredible.

⇢ Hiking Amongst the Giant Sequoias on the Congress Trail (photos 3, 4, & 5) - probably my favorite hike on the trip. Seeing these trees up close is incredible! Did this hike bright and early, so there was barely anyone else on the trail.

⇢ Touring Crystal Cave (photos 6, 7, & 8 ) - photos don’t do it justice! Such a cool experience, and something I highly recommend doing if you have more than a day in Sequoia. They are closed for the season now, but will reopen around May!
