Explore the Winter Forest by Foot

There is no better way to see the Giant Forest than to get out on the trails and walk around. In the winter, snow usually covers trails in the sequoia groves, but don’t let that stop you! Whether you rent snowshoes or bring your own, snowshoeing around a sequoia grove is a fun experience for people who are well-prepared. The trails take you around hundreds of big trees, beautiful meadows, and mountain viewpoints. Pick up a trail map or ask a ranger for advice at Giant Forest Museum. If you’re walking or snowshoeing, be sure to avoid damaging the cross-country ski tracks.
