Trail of 100 Giants

Interpretive Trail on Long Meadow Creek in Sequoia NF, Giant Sequoia NM, Sierra Nevada near Johnsondale Forest Service Work Center, CA

The Trail of 100 Giants is a 1.3 mi (2.1 km) long interpretative trail that winds through the densest collection of old-growth giant sequoias found at Long Meadow Grove.

The trail’s name notwithstanding, there are in fact maybe 20 really big trees along the trail. Some of them are truly impressive. That’s actually pretty good for a trail of this length. The sequoias grow in an exceptionally open pine forest. Much like the most heavily-visited parts of the Giant Forest, there’s almost no groundcover, probably because so many visitors go off-trail. Although judging from the size of both the redwoods and the other trees, the entire grove appears to be old growth, there are a lot of small (and some big) stumps scattered throughout the grove, possibly dead trees that were cut down so they wouldn’t fall on visitors.

Trail of 100 Giants offers an easy, accessible walk through the Long Meadow Grove, one of the premier groves of giant sequoias in our area. Along the trail, you'll see impressively large giant sequoia trees, estimated up to 1,500 years old. A 1.3 mile paved trail has several loop options with interpretive signs for some of the highlights. Located on the Western Divide Highway (M 107), facilities include a paved parking area, restrooms, picnic area and Redwood Meadow Campground nearby. A $5.00 per vehicle fee is charged to help maintain and improve these facilities. The roads leading to the Trail are typically closed by snow during the winter months. (November thru April)
