Best Experience at Sequoia National Park - We had the best time snowshoeing with Scot on our visit to Sequoia National Park. Our family, 2 adults and 3 kids between the ages of 8-14, walked away with amazing memories. Scott was patient with my daughter’s silly antics, knowledgeable, and just the nicest guy. When we encountered some unforeseen delays, he generously offered to extend the duration of our tour/ hike. Our snowshoeing experience was stellar. While snowshoeing is a workout, he chose a trail that was doable for all of us. Scott took his time to educate us with fun facts about the wildlife, trees, and general ecosystem of the region. I highly recommend Big Trees Tours and Scott to anyone looking to explore the Sequoias.

Superb tour through the Giant Forest - Excellent in every way. Scott is not only expert in his knowledge of the forest, his friendly personality made our day of snow shoeing the highlight of our camping trip to Sequoia National Park. Sharing his knowledge of the trees, the history of the place, as well as the fauna, gave us a much better experience than if we had tried to take this hike on our own. We highly recommend this tour.

Educational night under the stars... - We drove 20 minutes from our Three Rivers Airbnb to Potwisha Campground in Sequoia. Scott brought out chairs for us and a telescope and gave us a great introduction to the night sky, giving the kids a better understanding of how our solar system and galaxy fit into our universe. Scott is very friendly and great with kids, and he has a laser pointer that is so powerful he can easily point out which star he is talking about, which is very helpful. I highly recommend this for a great family educational activity.
