Crystal Cave Sequoia

Formed of marble, Crystal Cave in California’s Sequoia National Park is decorated with curtains of icicle-like stalactites and mounds of stalagmites. To reach it, you must drive to the end of the twisting, seven-mile road heading west from the General’s Highway, two miles south of the Moro Rock turnoff. Trailers, RVs and buses are prohibited because of the road's narrowness. Then, from the parking area, it is a 15-minute hike down a steep path to the cave entrance.

Sequoia’s Crystal Cave can be toured in summer only. The Sequoia Natural History Association offers 45-minute guided tours daily every half hour between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. from mid-June to mid-October (less often in early June and late October). Cave temperature is a constant 48 degrees so a jacket or sweater is recommended. Call (559) 565-3759 for information about Crystal Cave in Sequoia National Park. Please note: Tickets are not sold at Crystal Cave; purchase them at Lodgepole or Foothills visitor centers only.

Testimonials

“My Mother and I stayed two nights at the Wuksachi Lodge in the Silliman building recently. The views and surrounding environment were spectacular. The cuisine at the Lodge was wonderfully tasty and well prepared. Lola, our server both days, was very friendly and a great server. The room was nice and our view of the forest was second to none. We really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend it to anyone.”
