Conde Nast Traveler - Sequoia National Park - 7 National Parks to Visit During Wildflower Season

Due to its large range of elevations (1,360 to 14,505 feet), the blooming season in Sequoia is long and verdant, with marigold fiddlenecks bursting in the foothills, while corn lilies and paintbrush dot higher altitudes like Alta Meadow. April and May are best for spring wildflower hunting at lower elevations, while the alpine environment really comes to life from July through August. Cool down after your hike with a scoop of homemade ice cream at Reimer’s Candies and Gifts, before watching the sunset from a cozy guesthouse near the park’s Mineral King area.
