DRIVE TO THE SEQUOIAS- CA-216 winds through the orchards nearby, a scenic two lane highway surrounded by farmland and citrus. In about 15 minutes, you'll reach CA-198 bypassing the city traffic of Visalia, Farmersville and Exeter. As you climb, you’ll drive around Lake Kaweah with amazing views and plenty of spots to stop for photos with the beautiful lake in the background winding through the Sierras. The road gets windy above the town of Three Rivers once you enter the Sequoia park. We recommend go slow take your time and enjoy the views. It’s such a serene thought-inspiring drive and worth taking your time.
