Garfield Grove

Home of the King Arthur Tree

Sequoia Grove in Sequoia NP, Sierra Nevada near Three Rivers, CA

The grove is reached by a challenging hike on the Garfield-Hockett Trail, which includes four miles of climbing among the sequoias. The trail gradually becomes more scenic as it climbs, starting with small and widely-scattered sequoias and ending with a few brief but spectacular collections of large sequoias.

The best part of the trail is an area of sequoias near the top of the grove. This very attractive mini-grove grows on a relatively flat area and is exceptionally open, with a high density of big sequoias. The trees are all a strikingly light brown. Above this grove the woods once again become dense, so although there’s another cluster of sequoias further up the trail, it’s not nearly as scenic.

On Wikipedia

Garfield Grove is a Giant Sequoia grove near the town of Three Rivers, California. The entire 2,902 acres (11.74 km2) lies in Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada range in eastern California in the United States. In December 2001, the neighboring Dillonwood Grove was purchased by the Save The Redwoods League for $10.3 million and added to Sequoia National Park. Prior to the purchase, the Dillonwood Grove was the largest grove in private ownership. The two groves are botanically the same and now managed as a single grove.
