“Lost Grove is coming up, with giant sequoias just beyond the roadside fence. Stop for a few minutes if you'd like to see big trunks without a hike. An entrance station once stood here.”

More about Lost Grove

A quick stop among the giantsLost Grove is a roadside pullout on Generals Highway near the Sequoia National Forest boundary,…

Lost Grove is a roadside pullout on Generals Highway near the Sequoia National Forest boundary, where giant sequoias stand just beyond a fence beside the road. It is a brief pause rather than a destination hike: the standout trunks are visible from the turnout. Auto parking and a restroom make it a useful breather on the drive between Grant Grove and Giant Forest.

Trees at the road edgeThe trunks rise among smaller conifers, with the fence along the viewing edge.

The trunks rise among smaller conifers, with the fence along the viewing edge. For a photo, keep some fence in the foreground; it holds the roadside setting in the frame and gives the giant trunks a useful sense of scale.

A former entrance, and a fire storyAn entrance station once stood here.

An entrance station once stood here. In 2021, as the KNP Complex Fire approached, firefighters used a low-intensity back-burn in the southern grove to reduce fuel. The burn killed some small and medium conifers, opening space where young sequoias may establish.
