Crystal Cave (Sequoia National Park), Sequoia National Park, CA
Crystal Cave operates as a spiritual advisor and tourist attraction within Sequoia National Park. The site offers guided cave tours, and the cave ranks among the notable features of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Tours for the 2026 season have ended, with the next season expected to begin in late spring of 2027. Visitors should note that white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease affecting bats, has been detected in California, and clothing or gear used in other caves must not be worn here.
The cave sits in Sequoia National Park, California, and access involves a downhill hike to the entrance followed by an uphill return. Tours are expected to resume in late spring of 2027, though construction on Crystal Cave Road may require extra travel time during part of that season.
Google reviewers describe the cave as small but worth visiting, with friendly staff and a waterfall audible and visible along the walk. Several mention that tickets must be purchased in advance and are not sold at the cave or elsewhere in the park. Reviewers also note the half mile downhill hike to the entrance and the uphill return, that the site is not handicapped accessible, and that the cave stays cool enough to warrant a sweater in summer.

Is this your listing? Costs nothing to take it over, and the description, number and site stop being ours to guess at.

The cave isn’t very big. It is well worth to take a visit. The staffs are nice. We have to walk down the mountain to the cave. We can hear and see waterfall.

Let me be perfectly clear, if you plan to go here- plan early and purchase your tickets before you leave your house. You CANNOT by tickets at the cave, nor can you purchase tickets at Sequoia National Park. Well worth the drive and the hike to the entrance. Word of advice, follow the rules or pay the price!

This place is amazing! If you go, do the Discovery Tour, especially if Kayla is leading it. There is a half mile hike down hill to get to the caves and another half mile up hill to get to your car. This is not handicapped accessible.
The cave is pretty cool, temperature-wise, so bring a sweater even if it's Summer.
