Summary: We had a beautiful half day tour of Sequoia highlights with Farrah. She was very knowledgeable, having previous experience as a ranger in the park. her manner was warm and friendly, and she did a great job of catering to our interests and needs. The majesty of the Sequoia trees was breathtaking and the walk up Moro Rock was enjoyable and the view was lovely. Bonus points we had perfect weather and saw a small family of deer. We highly recommend this tour.
