I was supposed to vacation in Sequoia National Park in 2020. One of the few things you could do to get away from the lockdowns. But they decided camping, fishing and hiking were too dangerous and closed the park. Those reservations were hard to get, and even harder now that everyone seems to own an RV. Hopefully I’ll get back there in 2022. It’s one of my favorite parks and only a half day drive.
I visited Sequoia National Park a few times as kid for camping. Amazing adventure to be had.
But I’m hearing vast swathes of forest surrounding the big trees have been devastated by bugs and fire. Seems the Sequoias are virtually impervious to both, which would explain their ancient age and size.
If you go, please let me know what you see there.
