Foothills Visitor Center in Sequoia National Park is located about one mile beyond the Ash Mountain entrance station near Three Rivers, California. The visitor center houses all of the usual components of a park service visitor center including an information desk, gift shop, and exhibits. In addition, as we have begun to see in other areas, a donation box is prominently displayed. Restrooms with running water are located in the same building, but with a separate entrance. Unfortunately, there is no theater nor a park film. Since the visitor center was closing as we arrived a few days earlier, this was our final stop in Sequoia National Park during our March 2018 trip to California.
