Parks & Nature
Many trails, wonderful Giant Sequoia trees, animals. Right next to Kings Canyon Park, which is only 40 minutes away. The 180 highway entrance to Kings Canyon and Sequoia is MUCH easier to drive compared to the 198 entrance from Visalia, which has a lot of tight curves.

Should I take the 180 or the 198 highway to Sequoia?
What is the difference between the 180 highway (from Fresno) and the 198 highway (from Visalia)? We have traveled both routes many times, and the biggest difference is that the 198 highway has SEVERAL very sharp curves, which can cause motion sickness, and is a problem for longer vehicles. In fact, vehicles 22' or longer are prohibited on the 198 between Potwisha (a campground just inside the 198 Sequoia entrance) and Giant Forest. The 180 highway from Fresno, on the other hand, is much easier driving, fewer sharp curves, and also, is much closer to Oak Hills Retreat!
The airport is about an hour from Oak Hills Retreat.
