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

From here it is a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) walk down a paved path with stairs to General Sherman.

For a shorter walk, take the shuttle to the General Sherman Accessible Trailhead, which is a 500 ft (150 m) distance.

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.

Visit the park shuttles page for more information, including a route map.
