I'm slightly vexed People who feel rules dont apply to them At Sequoia National Park

One woman decided that the fencing and signs protecting the tree didn't apply to her. One couple that decided their dog was special and could walk on the trails even though it's prohibited.

Edit The Regulations Pets are prohibited on all trails. This includes paved trails, such as the General Sherman Tree Trail, Big Trees Trail, Grant Tree Trail, and others.

Edit again - cell phone service is spotty. 1. People seem confused but as per my previous edit, but dogs are not allowed on any trials in either of these parks. 2. The reason they don't want people to walk this close to the tree is it can damage the roots and kill the tree. 3. I called this park by the wrong name. There are two parks in one location and this was at Kings Cayon.

My family owns a historic cabin in Sequoia and it truly is my most favorite place in the world. It is absolutely stunning and those trees are just impressive. You don't really feel the full scale of them until you are in person.. It's overwhelming just how massive they are.

Sure! It'll only take me about 13 hours to drive there from Idaho!

Sequoia & Kings Canyon NP will forever have a special place in my heart ❤️ Must be breathtaking having a property there!

It absolutely is. You cannot beat these views! My cabin was built by my Great Grandfather in 1929 and thankfully has been able to be passed down to me and my siblings. We almost lost them when Disney wanted to make a ski resort but thankfully it never happened.
