Yosemite's Mariposa Grove has more huge sequoias than anywhere else in the park, and this loop is well worth doing. The area has recently been reshaped to shield the plants from human impact. The Grizzly Giant is one of the largest giant sequoias here, and standing so close to trees that may be over a thousand years old, having survived many fires, is genuinely moving. This easy 3.3-kilometer walk passes through forest and meadow, taking in the Grizzly Giant and the California Tunnel Tree. Park at Welcome Plaza and ride the free shuttle to the trailhead. Snow in winter can make the route harder.
A 3.3 km circular route from California to walk, run or cycle, with 116 m of climbing.
