- Foothills Visitor Center - The Foothills Visitor Center is an excellent spot to gather more information about the day’s adventures. It offers typical visitor center amenities such as a gift shop, exhibits on park history and wildlife, restrooms, and a water bottle filling station.
- Tunnel Rock - Tunnel Rock is a must-see attraction on the left side of Generals Highway. The highway once passed beneath it, but now the rock serves as a popular photo opportunity. Visitors can climb on or walk under the rock.
- Hospital Rock - This well-known stop showcases Potwisha Native American rock art on a large riverside rock. Nearby are grinding mortars, believed to have been used by Potwisha women to grind acorns into flour. Picnic tables and restrooms are available here.
- Vista Point - Another fantastic roadside view of Sequoia’s beauty. Simply pull over and take a few moments to enjoy the scenery. It can be easy to miss, so keep an eye on the map.
- The Four Guardsmen - While not an official stop, you can pull over on the right side of the road if desired. Otherwise, slow down as you drive between the four massive sequoia trees that line the highway, welcoming you to the Giant Forest.
- Giant Forest Museum - Appropriately named, the Giant Forest is home to numerous magnificent giant sequoias, including the renowned General Sherman Tree. The Giant Forest Museum is a great starting point for hikes in the area. A favorite is the Big Trees Trail, an easy half-mile hike past a meadow and sequoias.
- Tunnel Log - This log was once an obstacle for traffic, so workers carved through it. Today, vehicles up to eight feet tall can drive through it, while others must go around. It’s another fun photo opportunity.
- General Sherman Tree - The park’s star attraction! The General Sherman Tree is famous for being the largest living tree in the world by volume. A simple, paved 1-mile trail leads from the parking area through a giant sequoia forest to the tree, with benches and other notable trees along the way. If time permits, continue on the Congress Trail from the General Sherman Tree. It’s also paved and easy, just under 3 miles round-trip, and leads to two groups of mature sequoias.
- Tokopah Falls - The Tokopah Falls Trailhead is located at the road’s end near the campsites. The trail offers a mix of shady forest and open mountain views, leading to a stunning waterfall. The hike is nearly 4 miles (6 km) with a gentle incline. The waterfall is an impressive 1,200 feet, or nearly 400 meters tall, and flows heavily in early summer from glacial melt, though it may reduce to a trickle by late summer.
- Wuksachi Lodge - Wuksachi Lodge is the perfect place to relax and unwind if a break from hiking is needed. It features two restaurants with full menus, a delightful outdoor deck and seating area, and a souvenir shop with grab-and-go snacks.
- Little Baldy Trail - This trail is a favorite among visitors due to its breathtaking views from the top of the dome. The trail is just over three miles, or five kilometers, round-trip, with a few switchbacks leading to the summit. It’s considered moderately challenging. At the end, enjoy panoramic views of the Great Western Divide and beyond.
