    • @traveleaz

      So - I was hoping someone else would reply as I know Sequoia National Park, having been there many times in my life but I have never been to Sequoia NF. I know the Forest is much larger (3x larger I believe?) and of course, there are many simliarities. I am also aware of the magnificent Trail of 100 Giants in the National Forest. They are also managed by different agencies - however, I am aware I haven't really answered your question but wanted you to have some reply. I'm hoping someone with more knowledge that I have of BOTH can help you out.
