After a four-year hiatus due to consecutive natural disasters, Sequoia National Park’s Crystal Cave is set to reopen for guided tours on May 23, 2025. The cave, known for its stunning marble formations, is located near the Giant Forest area of the park. The prolonged closure allowed for necessary restorations and safety enhancements to ensure visitors can once again experience this natural wonder.
The Sequoia Parks Conservancy, the official park partner of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, operates Crystal Cave. The conservancy has worked diligently to ensure the cave’s reopening, focusing on preserving the natural beauty of the site while ensuring the safety of its visitors.
As the summer season approaches, visitors are encouraged to explore Crystal Cave and experience its unique beauty firsthand. The reopening marks an important milestone for Sequoia National Park, symbolizing resilience and the continuous efforts to preserve and share the park’s natural wonders with the public.
