General Grant Tree

Located in Dunlap, California, the General Grant Tree Trail is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts. This trail takes you through the stunning Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, where you can witness the awe-inspiring beauty of some of the world's largest living trees, including the General Grant Tree, proclaimed as the Nation's Christmas tree by President Coolidge in 1926. With paved paths and well-marked trails, visitors can explore the historic Gamlin Cabin, marvel at the Fallen Monarch, and enjoy a peaceful walk through meadows, creeks, and sequoia forests. While hiking, keep an eye out for the remnants of 19th and early-20th century logging projects, as well as the fascinating sequoia stumps left behind. Please note that pets are not allowed on any trails within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and the Big Trees Transit shuttle is no longer operational in the Grant Grove area. For more information on other trails and maps, visit the visitor centers located in Lodgepole, the Foothills, Grant Grove, and Cedar Grove.Generated from the website
