  If you only have time to take a drive by look, ok a stop and park and take a short hike and see the Giant Sequoias. This is the spot. You get to see a General, [Grant not Sherman] walk thru a tunnel tree and do it all in less than 53 minutes.Be advised that Jellystone Park service can not keep all the roads open when it snows, so check for closing if it is the winter months. Nice how this park [Kings Canyon] charges a fee and the other park up north [Sequioa National Park] also charges a fee during the same time period.

  A short drive on the main highway to the trail head east of Grants Grove. This area has the stumps of a large sequoia forest that was logged about 100 years ago. One stump is called the Chicago Stump, as it was cut down, split into smaller pieces, and sent to the Chicago Worlds Fair as an exhibit. Only a few miles of dirt road off the highway, then about 15 minute walk, roundtrip, to the stump and back. Worth the walk to see this very large stump and read the exhibit displays.

  I missed the sign saying you could not bring your dog on the trail. I ended up carrying her through it. Relatively easy trail to walk through in about 30 minutes

  This area is a nice area in Kings Canyon. There is a lodge, restaurant, gift shop, market, visitors center. There seemed to be ample parking, but we did go there during off season.

  From the parking lot follow the 0.3 mile loop to view the General Grant Tree. It measures 268 feet tall and 107 feet around. It is about 2000 years old and still growing. There is a special Yuletide celebration under it's branches each year. Check the park calendar for details.

  翻译是“大丛林”，只敢走一小段，再走进去怕迷路了。整个林子都是一样的美洲杉，参天蔽日，无法辨出东南西北，如果没有便道，真是非常危险。除了美洲杉，这里还有松树，所以自然是松鼠的最爱，同时各种灌木林也覆盖的很丰富，当之无愧是一座活的植物动物博物馆

  The place to see a great many giant Sequoias. Trails range from short and easy strolls to longer and more challenging hikes.

  Much easier access and less strenuous trail to see the General Grant Tree, which is in the came category as the General Sherman Tree.

  The Grove is a once-in-a-lifetime experience: The giant Sequoias with fun places like the fallen burned-out tree that to can go through. It has universal appeal: When we were there a group of Buddhist monks were also exploring the Grove. A great place for everyone.

  This is one of the most important features of the park. Stop by and enjoy it, you may encounter a few German tourists and that will confirm you are in the right location!
