Bearskin Grove

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

Although the sequoias in this small grove have never been logged, other species have been heavily logged and small stumps are visible throughout the grove. According to Dwight Willard’s book A Guide to the Sierra Groves of California, this was the first grove to be affected when the Forest Service began logging sequoia groves in the 1980s.

Road 13S98A runs through the best part of the grove and is actually open to vehicles, although it’s a little rough. This short road has some pretty nice old-growth sequoias and climbs past about 10 or 12 of the massive trees, some in a hillside meadow to your right and some in the woods to your left.
