Calaveras Big Trees CA State Park protects 2 groves of giant sequoia trees that are 300 ft tall with 25 foot diameter trunks. The giant trees were discovered in 1852. The location first gained notoriety from a sequoia called the Discovery Tree that was cut down in 1853 and 24 foot diameter sections were shipped and exhibited in San Francisco, Cape Horn, and New York City. It was originally 363 feet tall, but now is only a 3' platform base where it originally stood.

The posted picture was our hike through the South Grove area (a 3 mile hike with scattered Giant Trees). The colors and spring undergrowth of the forest was so green and vibrant. The beauty was unexpected and we plan to return in the Autumn when the undergrowth is changing colors.

"My family and I were so pleased with the location of this condo. We loved waking up and getting to walk to the chair lifts -- amazing! The beds were comfy and the condo was well-equipped. We ran into a bit of an issue with someone parked in the parking spot and the elevators not working (a schlep with all of our gear up to the 3rd floor), but the manager gave us a bit of a later check-out which we appreciated. Managers were very friendly and responsive."

"Getting into the property was rough. We followed the directions and could not locate how to get in. Come to find out after 45 minutes they forgot to give us a key to operate the elevator hence why we couldn't figure it out. Property is as advertised but very short with supplies, example only 1 towel per person so you had no room any sips, wet towels etc. I would definitely bring my own towels if visiting again. Resort it's on is nice and lots of places to walk."
