Special Events
Expert naturalists from the Sequoia Parks Conservancy have special walks year-round. Whether it's a stargazing walk in the summer or a winter snowshoe walk, these walks are one of the best ways to get an insider's view of the parks. See below for details.
And of course, we also have some extra-special events. Whether it's a summer stargazing festival or a once-in-a-lifetime park anniversary celebration, look below for a list of upcoming special events.
If you're looking for the classic ranger-led programs that the national parks are famous for presenting, please consult the National Park Service's schedule of events.
Wonders of the Night Sky
Meet your naturalist guide in the Wuksachi Lodge lobby, just north of the Giant Forest and Lodgepole campground. They will take you through a tour of the night sky, speaking about some of the wonderous sights above your group and some of the stories which fill the sky. See the mountains lit up by the full moon or the milky way stretching overhead! Enjoy an evening of stargazing in some of the darkest night skies in all of California.
