Sequoia National Park’s signature exfoliation dome swells from the southwest edge of the Giant Forest plateau for a commanding view of the Great Western Divide and Middle Fork Kaweah River canyon. A masterful bit of engineering produced a winding staircase that leads to the summit.

Zumwalt Meadow’s lush vegetation is a haven for wildlife (Route 38).
