This grove of giant prehistoric redwood trees are among the oldest and largest living things in the world. The place is uncommercialized and is very spiritual.
Majestic trees in a lovely setting-not too far from the central valley, makes a great get away.
Closer walk than the General Sherman which was great for my mother with a bad knee. The drive was not as crazy either. We did the two big trees on separate days, just completely unbelievable! You have to see these trees with your own eyes to believe!!
We were a tiny bit underwhelmed with Grant Grove, but we still enjoyed our time there. The General Grant tree was cool to see, but after a day of sightseeing basically looked like all the other sequoias we'd seen. The fire scars on some of the nearby trees were really neat, there were several other giant sequoias you could actually get up close to, and there was an old cabin to check out. Also, there was the tunnel tree that you could walk through, which was fun. The 0.5 mile loop walk was lovely, and had enough side trails to keep us interested.
We thought this area was going to be great looking on the map, but we far prefered the trails and scenery in Giant Grove around the General Sherman Tree.
