The Sequoia High Sierra Camp is accessible only by hiking in on trails originating in Sequoia National Park.
There are two ways to access the camp:
1) The recommended drive/hike-in option allows guests to drive to the Marvin Pass trailhead parking lot and hike an easy one mile trail to the camp. This hike encompasses a 300 foot total elevation gain and is recommended for all guests, especially those who will still be acclimating to the Sierra's altitude. The path is clear and well-marked from the parking lot
2) The second option to access the Camp is a challenging 12 mile hike from Lodgepole Visitor Center in Sequoia National Park. Guests choosing this option will park in the visitor center lot and hike a well-marked backcountry trail to the camp. This hike takes an average of 9 hours and it is recommended that guests choosing this option start early in the morning. The total elevation gain is approximately 1500 feet and some streams and rocks will be traversed.
Guests must hike out the same way they came in, as there is no shuttle service between the Marvin Pass trailhead lot and Lodgepole Visitor's Center.
