Tuolumne Grove

Grove Yosemite National Park, California, United States

What to expect

Tuolumne Grove is a giant sequoia grove located near Crane Flat in Yosemite National Park, at the southeastern edge of the Tuolumne River watershed. The grove contains many conifers, including a few Sequoiadendron giganteum as well as Abies concolor and Pinus lambertiana. It has about two dozen mature giant sequoias, with the largest tree being the Dead Giant, which measures 29 1/2 feet in diameter at its base. A small tunnel was cut through the Dead Giant in 1878, allowing a road to pass through it. The grove is not wheelchair accessible and has no drinking water available. The trail to the grove is moderate, with a 500-foot elevation loss in one mile, and the return trip is strenuous
