Crystal Cave Sequoia

Formed of marble, the Crystal Cave in California’s Sequoia National Park is decorated with curtains of icicle-like stalactites and mounds of stalagmites. To reach it, you must drive to the end of the twisting, seven-mile road heading west from the General’s Highway, two miles south of the Moro Rock turnoff. Trailers, RVs and buses are prohibited because of the road's narrowness. Then, from the parking area, it is a 15-minute hike down a steep path to the cave entrance.

The cave can be toured in summer only. The Sequoia Natural History Association offers 45-minute guided tours daily every half hour between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. from mid-June to early September (less often in early May and late September). Cave temperature is a constant 48 degrees so a jacket or sweater is recommended. Call (559) 565-3759 for information about Crystal Cave in Sequoia National Park. Please note: Tickets are not sold at the Crystal Cave; purchase them at Lodgepole or Foothills visitor centers only.

Testimonials

“We brought our daughters and their families (10 of us) to Sequoia and stayed at the Wuksachi Lodge. We had a wonderful time. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. We ate several meals at the Lodge and everyone enjoyed them. I have recommended Wuksachi to family and friends. Hopefully we can go back in Summer to see more of the forest since some areas were closed for the winter.”

– Nancy and Ed C.
