Redwood Canyon

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:10:19

Over 15,000 sequoias cluster in Redwood Canyon, making it one of the world’s largest groves of these giant trees. In an almost-forgotten corner of the park, this secluded forest lets you revel in the grandeur of the trees away from the crowds while hiking mostly moderate trails. What you won’t find here, however, are any of California's coast redwood trees – that’s what early pioneers mistook these giant sequoias for, hence the erroneous name.

The trailheads are at the end of a 2-mile bumpy dirt road (closed in winter) that starts across from the Hume Lake/Quail Flat signed intersection on the Generals Hwy, just over 5 miles southeast of Grant Grove Village.
