Here we have a rocky overlook provides wide views over the San Joaquin Valley, though sunsets can reveal a notable haze of smog. A nearby exhibit explains the pollution. The paved loop around Round Meadow has information boards and benches along the way. This easy jogging route winds through Sequoia National Park's giant sequoias, past meadows and forest, and offers sweeping mountain scenery from Beetle Rock, with a gentle climb and paved, boardwalk, and dirt sections near the Giant Forest Museum.
