Sequoia National Park Ranger Programs
Sequoia Park rangers run a variety of programs designed to educate and entertain park visitors. Whether it’s a ranger-led hike, or an evening campfire under the stars, there’s something special about having a national park ranger on hand. Program topics range from stories and fascinating facts about sequoia trees, bears and other wild animals, to local geology and astronomy. And as an added bonus, Sequoia ranger programs are all free of charge.
Programs rotate with the season and park region. The widest variety and number of ranger-led programs happen in the summer, from late June through August.
