John Muir Lodge, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park, California USA

Built in 1998, the John Muir Lodge is an excellent place to stay when visiting Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. Located in the National Park, its remote but perfect, there is nothing better than staying amongst the tall trees and being surrounded by the beauty of nature.

The Lodge is made of timber with open beam ceilings, stone fireplace, and a redwood mantel salvaged from a historic cabin in Sequoia National Park. Its very quiet at night as the nearby small village offers a couple of food options that close after dinner service. Lodge guests can enjoy games, puzzles, and books in the lobby great room while relaxing by the stone fireplace. Balconies at the west end of the lodge provide the perfect place to savor the Sierra sunset.

The Lodge’s guest rooms are set with handcrafted wood furniture in a bright and natural light-filled atmosphere. There is very much a rustic natural feel to this lodge.

Open year-round, the John Muir Lodge serves California national park visitors with 36 rooms in Kings Canyon National Park. It is named for the famed Scottish author/naturalist who sought to preserve this High Sierra realm and advocated the designation of Sequoia & Kings Canyon as national parks. A painting of Muir, gazing out on the wilderness that stirred him, adorns the lobby of the property, and continues to inspire modern-day Muirs.

Wireless internet is available in all common areas of the lodge but the lodge is in a very remote location so internet service is limited.
