Evans Grove

The Best of the Evans Grove Complex

Grove in Giant Sequoia NM, Sequoia NF, Sierra Nevada near Wilsonia, CA

Evans Grove contains a small but superb patch of old-growth sequoias on a hillside overlooking the mountainous Kings River drainage. Although the rest of the grove has been logged, this little patch appears to be entirely untouched. This small grove is part of the Evans Grove Complex, a band of widely-scattered sequoias and small sequoia groves above Kings Canyon.

Typically for low-elevation groves, Evans Grove is lush and densely-wooded. The edges of the grove have unusually high concentrations of sequoias, including some monster trees, and are quite scenic. However, the center of the grove has relatively few sequoias, so there’s only about a half-mile of really good sequoias on this hike.

The Evans Grove Complex is a complex of seven giant sequoia groves located in the Kings River watershed on the southern slopes of Kings Canyon in Giant Sequoia National Monument (Sequoia National Forest). It is formed from the Evans, Lockwood, Little Boulder, Boulder, Kennedy, Windy Gulch, and Horseshoe Bend groves. The complex is home to a rich collection of old-growth giant sequoias covering a combined 2,270 acres (9.2 km2).
