Watchtower trail in Sequoia National Park is a beautiful out and back hike featuring stunning vistas of rocky mountain peaks and alpine scenery.
It’s approximately 6.7 miles when starting at Lakes trailhead at Wolverton and ascends to high alpine country. There are a few water crossings along the way to filter water if needed. Lots of lush green and wildflowers in the Spring!
Spectacular views of the falls surrounded by towering granite over the Tokopah floor. This hike is breathtakingly beautiful!
