Memorial Day weekend is considered to be the summer kick-off for Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks.
Trip planning is essential for a safe and enjoyable visit. Here are some things to keep in mind as you plan your holiday weekend trip.
COVID-19
COVID-19 remains a threat to the health and well-being of visitors and park employees. While the threat in California has been reduced, visitors are still asked to be respectful of each other and park employees, socially distance where possible, and if you have not been vaccinated, to wear a mask in areas where it is not possible to socially distance, such as narrow or crowded trails (for example, Moro Rock). Indoor spaces in the parks continue to operate at limited capacity to allow for social distancing and masks are required for unvaccinated visitors.
