This Sequoia Shuttle stop is located at the accessible parking area for the General Sherman tree, the largest tree in the world!

From here is the shortest walking distance to General Sherman, 500 ft (150 m).

This parking lot is for vehicles with accessibility placards only. All other vehicles can park at the main General Sherman Parking Area, and walk 0.5 miles (0.8km) to the tree from there, or ride the shuttle back to this lot for a shorter hike.

Sequoia Shuttles run from late May until early September. Riding the shuttle helps you avoid having to find parking, which can be limited. It also reduces air pollution within our parks.

Shuttles within the park are free; round-trip shuttles from Visalia are $20, which includes the park entrance fee.

All buses are wheelchair accessible, and either kneel or have lifts.
