General Grant Tree Trail

Trail in Kings Canyon NP, Sierra Nevada near Wilsonia, CA

Starting from the large signboard in the parking lot, take the paved trail to the left. The trail climbs past a series of truly impressive monster trees. Near the beginning is the Fallen Monarch, a large hollow fallen tree that you can walk through and that’s one of the most popular spots on the trail. The first half of the trail has most of the really big trees, culminating in the General Grant at about the halfway point. The General Grant really is something to behold, an immense tree that doesn’t taper. After that, the trail descends through somewhat less-interesting woodland. At one point there’s a dramatic view back to the General Grant.
