The general headquarters for the Sequoia National Park is at Ash
Mountain, on the Generals Highway. An information office is also
maintained at Giant Forest.
Mail, telephone, and telegraph messages for the superintendent should be
addressed to Sequoia National Park, Calif.; the representative of the

the park.
