Two would be ideal but the NPS will plow and sand the roads before you need two pairs of chains. In reality, you just have to show them that you have a pair of chains to get through the gates, but you won't need them. Depending on who is at the gate, they can (and have) turned 4x4's around when...
There's a lot of forrest roads out in Sequoia NP. I'd recommend using Gaia GPS (premium) with their USFS MVUM and new USFS Roads and Trails map overlays to scout things out.

I really like my DMOS Stealth shovel. Long handle for my 6'7" height, good metal parts, serrated edge for scraping ice but not dangerous to users, compact storage.
