On Tuesday, January 9 at approximately 12:45 in the afternoon a Jeffrey Pine tree within Sequoia National Park fell, striking four vehicles parked in Lodgepole Market’s employee parking lot. There were no injuries to staff or visitors. The tree was approximately 150 feet tall and 38 inches in diameter.
Visitors are reminded to maintain situational awareness when hiking, camping, and traveling through Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and should avoid spending prolonged periods under dead or partly dead trees or branches.
