General Grant Grove

I thought I had seen big trees but this grove takes “tall trees” to a whole new level. Holy cow! If you’re on your way out of Hume Lake or Kings Canyon you have to stop here to check out the trees and pleasant walking paths. Highly recommend coming earlier rather than later in the day because by the time we were leaving around 9:45am the parking lot was starting to fill up. Lots of deer too!

2nd biggest tree in the world…incredibly massive and humbling to stand beside; a must-see highlight of Kings Canyon National Park!

This grove is an awe-inspiring, wonderful place. There is a pleasant hiking trail that takes you past some dramatically impressive Giant Sequoia, including the General Grant Tree itself. A great place to go hiking and there are nice visitors center facilities, including a restaurant and store nearby if you need to stock up on supplies. Well worth the long windy drive to reach Kings Canyon National Park and this remarkable grove.

Quick drive from Sequoia National Park to see world's second largest tree. There are many trails, hundreds of species of plants and giant sequoias. Gift shop near the visitor center is pretty cool to collect souvenirs. Totally recommend visiting if you are driving through. Trail to the general grant tree is about half a mile round trip.

You'll pay $35 to enter the park per vehicle but if you have an annual pass ($80) you'll be able to enter and exit without paying the fees. The roads were plowed from the north park entrance down to Grant Grove as of Feb. 2022. The trees themselves are absolutely stunning, especially in contrast with the snow. There were very few people in the grove.

General grants Grove was so much fun! The trees were beautiful. They are so big and impressive. I wish I could just live there. You truly feel like you are in the presence of greatness being around these trees! I felt true serenity here!

The giant sequoias will take your breath away! One of the most amazing places that I've ever been. It is something that I'll never forget.

Scenic signature grove known for its towering sequoia trees and hiking trails. Mind expansive views of the largest and oldest trees on the planet.
