Description
This trail is just straight-up awesome. It basically goes through a giant sequoia grove. There's two access points--one at NF-21S50 and one at the Lloyd Meadows Road. I didn't get a chance to do the entire route because I had my young daughter that day with me, but I did notice that people were in the process of building a little nature walk along this trail, in the area of the George Bush tree. It's a must-see trail. Trust me!
