Little Boulder Grove Trail

Trail on Little Boulder Creek, Buck Rock Creek in Giant Sequoia NM, Sequoia NF, Sierra Nevada near Wilsonia, CA

An old logging road, restored to walkable condition, allows a pleasant walk through the grove, but there isn’t really that much to see. Only about 20 big sequoias can be seen from the trail, and like many National Forest groves, they’re in an area that was clearcut of other trees in the 1980s, leaving the sequoias oddly exposed. Because of the small number of sequoias and the logging, this grove isn’t especially scenic. This small grove is part of the Evans Grove Complex, a band of widely-scattered sequoias and small sequoia groves above Kings Canyon.

The area isn’t difficult to reach but is little-visited, mainly because the road doesn’t really go anywhere else of interest. On a nice summer day I didn’t see a single other person in the area all day. The area is completely quiet.
