My family of 5 is planning our first trip to see the General Sherman as well as all other "must see" trees along Hwy 101. We are coming from Wisconsin and staying 5 days the beginning of June. Best airport to fly in to? Best place to start? Best place to stay?

The Gen. Sherman Tree is in Sequoia National Park in the mountains well to the southeast of San Francisco while the tall redwoods along Hwy. 101 are to the north of SF, so not sure whether you’re actually planning to see both. Either way, I’d guess that flying into SFO or Oakland would be your best bet. If you do go to Sequoia National Park, Montecito Sequoia Lodge is a good option - fairly rustic accommodations but centrally located and good buffet style meals are included, and very family oriented.
It’s been a dram since I was a child to visit General Sherman and see the giants in person. I will be in the area in November, between 10-15. Baring a storm is it worth trying to visit that late in the year?
A:
Yes it is absolutely worth visiting late this year however make sure Road is accessible I know in winter some roads are closed
