This is an amazing walkable paved trail through the Giant redwoods! This is about a 45 minute drive up the hill and dogs are allowed. They also have a great small gift shop and picnic tables to have your lunch. Trail of 100 Giants offers an easy, accessible walk through the Long Meadow Grove, one of our area's premier groves of giant sequoias. Along the trail, you'll see impressively large giant sequoia trees, estimated up to 1,500 years old. A 1.3-mile paved trail has several loop options with interpretive signs for some highlights. Located on the Western Divide Highway (M 107), facilities include a paved parking area, restrooms, a picnic area, and Redwood Meadow Campground nearby. A $12.00 per vehicle fee is charged to help maintain and improve these facilities. The roads leading to the trail are typically closed by snow during the winter months. (November thru April)
