The 2015 Sequoia Shuttle season runs from May 21st through September 27th, with round-trip tickets for only $15. The Sequoia Shuttle is your first and last stop to Sequoia National Park. The shuttle departs from various convenient locations throughout Visalia and Three Rivers before traveling to the Giant Forest Museum.
The shuttle runs seven days a week, offering several trips throughout the day starting at 6 am. Admiring the wonders of Mother Nature has never been easier. The $15 cost includes park entry and unlimited shuttle service inside the park to all major trailheads and attractions.
"Riding the Sequoia Shuttle to the park offers so many advantages. It is easy, convenient and economical, plus it reduces private motor vehicles in the park. Each 16-passenger shuttle is wheelchair accessible, features comfortable seats, luggage space, and an informative video during the trip” said Monty Cox, Visalia Transit Manager.
This summer, visitors can shout from the top of Moro Rock or meditate in one of nature’s finest sanctuaries, Crescent Meadow. After riding the scenic route aboard the Sequoia Shuttle and arriving at the park, the first stop is the Giant Forest Museum—where the adventure truly begins. From the museum, visitors will have access to the in-park transit system; with five routes that stop at all major trailheads and attractions.
Route 1 (Green Route, The Giant Forest Route): This is undoubtedly the most popular route within the park. Starting from the Giant Forest Museum, this route takes guests to the General Sherman Tree and to the Lodgepole Market & Visitors Center.
Route 2 (Gray Route, Moro Rock/Crescent Meadow): This route provides access to Moro Rock, located between the Giant Forest and Crescent Meadow. The view from the rock encompasses much of the park, including the Great Western Divide. This route also stops at Crescent Meadow, acclaimed by many to be the gem of the Sierras.
Route 3 (Purple Route, Lodgepole/Wuksachi Route): This route goes from Lodgepole to Wuksachi Lodge. Located in the heart of Sequoia National Park, the Wuksachi Lodge is the perfect place for visitors to unwind for a multiday getaway.
Route 4 (Orange Route, Wolverton Route): This route is in operation during peak season (July to September) and provides access from the General Sherman Tree to many of the backcountry trailheads located at the Wolverton area.
