    Nice park on the better side of town. Lots of grass and play area for kids and soccer. Lots of areas for kids to run and for dog walking.

    Absolutely stunning, amazing views, fresh air and super clean area. Lots of trash's located around…read more Peaceful. From entrance it's 45mins to get to the sequoia trees. Sundays don't require a fee. Definitely recommend. open 24/7 365 days a year.

    I've always wanted to go to the Sequoia's. I didn't know what to expect but wanted to try and make…read morea loop so we drove up through Kernville. The Kern river was especially high and so were the temperatures. We ascended into the forest pretty quickly, following the river. There's a ton of camping along the river but not a lot of "forest". We stayed at the Durrwood Creek Lodge B&B for the night and got a fresh start early the next morning. About 10 miles up the road it finally started looking more "forest"like. But still a dry desert like California forest. As we continued driving we came across the 100 Giant Sequoia's park. We parked for $5 and walked amongst some ancient trees. The walk is paved and easily accessible for all. There were a lot of dead and fallen trees throughout the forest which was a bit sad and disheartening. The droughts, bark beetles, fires and wind storms really has taken a toll on this beautiful forest. I did learn that there is a difference between the National Forest and National Park. This is the National Forest. Land that has been set aside, in its natural habitat with minimal impact. There is primitive camping, hunting, and less maintained services. The Kings Canyon Sequoia National Park is more maintained with lodging, camping and visitor centers and requires an entrance fee. Both have giant Sequoia's. The road was maintained and an easy day drive. We made several stops to take photos and even came across several waterfalls right off the highway. We drove through a couple of small little towns. They're is a few restaurants, but no gas or cell service. I did enjoy seeing the giant Sequoia's. And if really like to rent a yurt up there! I look forward to getting through the National Park next.

    Free to enter for day use…read more Came during a holiday afternoon. There were a few cars around. You could also camp here. It was $20 without hookup and $30 with hookup. Seniors get $2 off a night. It's a state park so it's 50% off with the State Parks Disabled Discount Pass. The restroom was next to the Visitor's Center. The toilets were flushable. There were plenty of stalls and there was soap in the soap dispenser. The Visitor's Center was really small and unattended. We couldn't get into any other buildings. Really cool to learn about this amazing town. Overall, a really nice park with a history.

    I visited Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park on a recent drive from Northern California to…read moreSouthern Nevada. For context: Allensworth, CA was the only California town founded, financed, and governed by Black Americans. I enjoyed touring the historic state park and comparing it to similar towns I've visited such as Idlewild (Michigan), Mound Bayou (Mississippi), Tulsa's Greenwood District (Oklahoma), and Harpers Ferry (West Virginia). During my midday visit on a Monday, I had the park completely to myself. There are bathrooms and a small visitor center on site, but the other buildings were all locked. Thankfully, one of the park rangers I encountered was kind enough to give me a guided tour of one of the reconstructed homes. That was a great addition to my overall tour. According to my family in Northern California, the park hosts festive events on Juneteenth and during Black History Month when the buildings are all open to the public, food is available for purchase, and there's local entertainment on site. In my opinion, the state park is a worthwhile detour anytime!
