Dry Start to Winter in Sequoia National Park Extends Access to Warm-Weather Activities
Wuksachi Lodge Enjoying Sunny Days in the Sierras
| Sequoia National Park,
CA – January 2012 / Hospitality 1ST / With
the delayed arrival of significant snowstorms along the western Sierra
Nevada, visitors to Wuksachi
Lodge in Sequoia National Park
are enjoying in-park destinations that are normally inaccessible this time
of year due to a thick blanket of white powder.
|  Crescent
Meadow Road, which leads to Moro Rock, has temporarily re-opened and will
remain accessible to travelers as weather permits. This means visitors
can still hike the nearly 400 steps to the top of the granite dome to witness
unparalleled views of the Great Western Divide and striking winter sunsets.
The road between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks will be open on upcoming weekends and holidays from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. until measurable snowfall closes the road. After snowfall, the road is expected to be closed through April 1. Higher-elevation trails are also still easily accessible in hiking shoes, streams are flowing but easy to cross and opportunities to spot wildlife abound. Bonus: no snow means that no tire chains or cables are needed to navigate the roads leading to Wuksachi Lodge. Just be aware that drivers are still required to carry them and be prepared to use them, according to California law. “Typically Sequoia National Park would be a winter wonderland of snow by mid-December,” said Wuksachi Lodge Assistant General Manager Brandy Frederich. “But the benefit now is that our guests can still take advantage of popular areas that haven’t been accessible during the winter since at least the eighties.” Nestled in the heart of Sequoia National Park, Wuksachi Lodge offers deluxe mountain accommodations and the only full-service restaurant in the area.
