You won’t want to miss The Giant Forest, including the General Sherman Tree, the world’s largest tree.

A lot of people like to hike to Moro Rock, with its 1/4 mile steep staircase.

There’s also two excellent trails:

Tokopah Falls: The trail to Tokopah Falls starts just beyond the Log Bridge in Lodgepole Campground. It is an easy 1.7 mile (one way) walk along the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River to the impressive granite cliffs and waterfall of Tokopah Canyon. Tokopah Falls is 1200′ (365.8 meters) high, and is most impressive in early summer, when the run-off from the melting snowpack in the Pear Lake region upstream is at its peak.

Little Baldy Trail: The trail to the summit of Little Baldy begins 11 miles north of the Giant Forest Village on the Generals Highway. This trail is 1.7 miles one way, and climbs 700′ (213.3 meters). At an elevation of 8044′ (2451.8 meters) the granite dome of Little Baldy is an excellent location from which to study the terrain of the Giant Forest Region.

The trail at the end of lodgepole is beautiful, and its only a couple of miles and very easy. If you’re more adventurous, hike up to Pear Lake and back for the day (10 miles roundtrip)… you won’t regret it. Also, make sure you spend a couple of hours wandering through the trails in the Giant Forest. Food and water are available in the park, but better to bring your own. I drink from the streams when im above 9000′, but bring iodine if you plan on that. You really dont need too much, and thats th beauty of camping. Have fun!
