The southern entry to Sequoia lies near the town of Three Rivers about 35 miles east of Visalia on Highway 198. Three Rivers, California, has about a half dozen motels plus several stores, gas stations and restaurants. You should definitely fill your tank here, as there is no fuel available in the park. These are the closest accommodations to the park unless you camp or stay at one of the lodges within the park boundaries.
The park entrance lies just a few miles east of town. It costs $10 for a 7-day pass to enter both Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. From the entrance, the road climbs nearly 2,000 meters in 26 miles of switchbacks to the 2,500-meter summits of the first Sierra peaks.
