HORSEBACK RIDINGExplore the Sequoias in the saddle like a true pioneer. Enjoy single and multi-day guided rides offered by stables located at Horse Corral in Sequoia National Forest, as well as Grant Grove and Cedar Grove within Kings Canyon National Park and at Balch Park, Tulare County. Horseback rides are also available for trips to Bearpaw High Sierra Camp. VisitSequoiaKingsCanyon.com/horseback-riding

Bringing your own horse? No problem! Bring them up and make your own adventure. Big Meadows Horse Camp has corrals and campsites for camping with your horse.

MOUNTAIN BIKINGMountain biking is allowed on all forest roads in Sequoia National Forest and on some designated trails. Every road and trail is different, and many within the forest may be quite technical due to terrain and rocks. Here are a couple areas you can turn your pedals:

The Hume Lake area has a number of biking opportunities and one of them is to bike Forest Service Road 13S05. Along this trail, you will travel through Giant Sequoia groves and encounter stunning views into Kings Canyon National Park. Follow 13S05 for around eight miles until the road fi zzles out. Turn around anytime and follow the same route back. Some portions of the road can be quite technical due to steep rocky terrain, but you can look forward to a dip in Hume Lake at the end of your ride.

The Converse Basin is crisscrossed with unmaintained logging and mining roads that wind through a Giant Sequoia grove and offer some great vistas. Take Highway 180 towards Cedar Grove and follow the signs toward the Chicago Stump and Converse Basin.
