Location Crystal Cave is located off the Generals Highway in Sequoia National Park, between the Ash Mountain entrance and Giant Forest. To reach the cave, drive down the scenic, winding, paved road to the cave parking lot. Hike down the half-mile trail along beautiful Cascade Creek, where you will be met by a guide at the cave entrance. The cave is not wheelchair accessible. No buses, trailers, or vehicles over 20 feet long are permitted on Crystal Cave Road.
Vans are acceptable.
Touring the Cave Before passing through the Spider Web Gate, your guide will give a brief history of the cave and point out the unique formations and features. During the 45 minute tour, you will be led from room to room on paved lighted pathways, pausing to listen to the water and echoes in the cave in total darkness. Tours are limited to 70 persons. Sweaters or jackets are recommended. No strollers, tripods or backpacks are allowed in the cave.
