Sightseeing
You simply cannot visit our area without making the beautiful drive up into the mountains and walking around (and inside) of our giant Sequoia trees! These are some of the largest living things on Earth, some are thousands of years old! The drive both ways is just simply incredible too. Be sure to get gas in Kernville before heading up and bring $12 cash for parking. Also note that there is no cell reception past River Kern.

These are about 25 minutes from our house and sit right along the Kern River. There are only 3 tubs so we recommend going early and on a weekday if possible.

Red Rock Canyon State Park is located about an hour and a half from the house but it doesn't even seem that far because the whole drive there is spectacular! Many movies and t.v shows were filmed here because of it's unique beauty! If you're looking for a desert adventure, here it is. Located right off highway 14, there is an awesome 1 mile loop trail in the front where you can touch and climb on the bluffs and a visitor center, restrooms and picnic area on the back end, also longer trails that are just as scenic! Please note, it is usually pretty windy up there!
