Winter is an amazing time to take in Yosemite’s rare groves of Giant Sequoia trees. As the summer/spring crowds clear out, the Tuolumne and Merced Groves become secluded, peaceful hiking trails accentuated by the towering Sequoia trees reaching out of view. The Giant Sequoias grow up to nearly 300 feet high/26 feet in diameter, making the the largest living things on Earth, and can live to be over 3,000 years old. If there is a considerable amount of snow on the ground, this trip becomes a peaceful snowshoe through the snow blanketed groves.

From: $0.00

Q&A

Q: Is this experience suitable for kids? What age is recommended?

A: Definitely! The hike can be tailored for different age groups, but I'd suggest kids around 8 and up will enjoy it the most. The guide is great at keeping things fun and safe for younger ones, but you might want to double-check if they'll be okay with the snowshoes if there's a lot of snow. Just make sure they’re dressed warmly!

Q: How do I prepare for this hike? What should I wear?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly, especially with snow. I’d recommend a good thermal base layer, a warm insulated jacket, and waterproof pants. Don't forget warm gloves and a hat. The guide provides snowshoes, so you just need to focus on staying warm and comfortable. Good boots are key too!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the hike? Can we reschedule?

A: Yes! Lasting Adventures has a flexible rescheduling policy if the weather doesn't cooperate. Just make sure to check in with them as they monitor conditions closely. They’re super accommodating and want everyone to enjoy the experience! Just keep in mind that it might be harder to reschedule during peak winter times.

Amazing Experience Hiking Through Giant Sequoias!

I just did the Private Giant Sequoia Grove hike last weekend and WOW. The trees are just as amazing as everyone says! It was surreal walking among them, and the snow really added to the magical vibe. Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the hike so enjoyable. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique winter adventure in Yosemite. Just make sure to dress warmly—it gets chilly out there!

Considering this Sequoia Hike as a Gift!

I'm looking to gift this hike to my sister for her birthday in December. She’s been wanting to visit Yosemite for so long! I’m a bit worried about the snow, though. Can anyone share what the vibe is like when there’s a lot of snow? Is it still fun, or more of a slog? Thanks!
