Sequoia Camp and Explore - SBC
Sequoia National Park is home to deep canyons, hidden caverns, rugged mountains, and some of the world’s largest trees, giving us endless opportunities to explore. Join CSUSB Adventure on this three-day, two-night trip as we experience some of the park’s most iconic sights and adventures.
During the trip, we’ll hike through towering groves of Giant Sequoias, including visits to famous landmarks like the General Sherman Tree. We’ll also take on the climb up Moro Rock, a granite dome offering sweeping panoramic views of the Great Western Divide and the foothills below. For an underground adventure, we’ll explore the stunning Crystal Cave on a guided tour, winding through marble chambers filled with dramatic stalactites and stalagmites.
Trip includes transportation, most meals, experienced leaders, and unforgettable Giant Sequoia sightings—all you need to do is show up ready for adventure!
