Tori's Trails: explores natural water slides in the Sequoia

Tori's Trails: Natural Water Slides
Posted

On a new episode of Tori's Trails we took a journey to the natural water slides in the Sequoia National Forest.

The slides are made for anyone looking to dip their feet into some fun while also getting a workout. Many know about the natural water slides but as you can imagine since it is a local spot it's a challenging to get to.

The video included here will show you visuals that will also be helpful directions paired with the ones below.

DIRECTIONS FROM KERNVILLE:

Take Mountain 99 Road north to the Johnsondale area, then turn right onto Lloyds Meadow road. From there drive roughly 5 miles up the road until you see a big turn out to the right. Park your car, walk across the road to the green gate where there is a forest service dirt road. Hike up that road three quarters of a mile. You should see a dirt stairway on the right in some bushes and you should be able to see the slides after you walk a little bit down the pathway. There were also a bundle of rocks right on the trail, marking the entry point to the right. (watch the video attached for a closer look of this area)
