Trail of 100 Giants Trailhead

Really nice, easy paved trail. Dog friendly, too. Not very long but would be perfect for kids. Parking lot has a couple picnic tables and basic toilets (no running water).

AMAZING beautiful short little hike through the giant sequoias. This is definitely worth the visit. Though I had SO MANY questions would be nice if there was a ranger walking around with info. Highly recommended. Take your time. And enjoy what nature has to offer.

Its absolutely stunning.....but this time I only rated 4 stars bcuz of the fires, smoke, and so many burnt trees, MANY trees being cut down (a project) so our entire visit was filled with chainsaw sounds + the fear of where the trees were falling...oh and lots of people using the burnt wood to graffiti...not a good look. If u enter on the South entrance, quickly youll see a taped off area which youll have to walk off path to get to the other side. A great new addition to this place is the Legends so you can see where you are and the paths, 2 located nearby both entrances. I visit everytime I come up here and this time wont stop me from visiting next year. Happy trails all!

Beautiful place! Trails are maintained dirt trails so very accessible and great for kids. Except for this one area where one giant sequoia fell on another already fallen sequoia, blocking the boardwalk path underneath (see photo). We hiked close to sunset and only got to see half of the trails, but it was worth it seeing the colors through the trees and the meadow blooms! I will definitely be coming back here to see everything this beautiful place has to offer!Caveat: The restrooms across the street at Redwood Meadow Campground are porta-potty toilets and put simply, stink.

Some of the best views of beautiful towering giants. Best part is you can park less than a mile from the start of the trail and avoid any human interaction. Even so not a lot of people here so it’s a great place to visit during the pandemic.

It’s a Sequoia Playground!! I could spend a whole week here just admiring and walking amongst the trees ️ totally magical place. Great spot if you have kids!

Always a beautiful location, currently undergoing a tree mortality treatment. Meaning a thinning out of scrub pines & small fir trees that complete with the giant Sequoias for water. We also noticed, a second massive tree had fallen sort of recently, in addition to the giant tree that fell about 10 years ago. I reside in Long Beach and have taken many visiting family & friends to this location. It never disappoints!

So pretty! The trail is easy to walk. Right now the loop cant ce walked in its entirety due to a fallen giant! But its very beautiful.

Very impressive trees, too bad the trail was closed on some sections (fall 2020). The trail is short and can get confusing because of the closures, it could have some better mapping and guidance. Excellent for a day trip.Be prepared as there is no cell phone signal around, no service for Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint, or US Cellular...

Went here a few years ago. It was a beautiful walking amongst the trees . You wont regret the trip. About 180 miles from Los Angeles. However, check to see if they are open. Enjoy!

Great place to visit! The hike itself was more like leisurely walk. So many giant sequoias in the area. Captivating for sure. Many photos. Bring a nice camera.Self parking across the trailhead. Paid $10 cash.

Visited 5/11/20. Parking lot closed but parked along the road which is technically not allowed. There were 3 or 4 other cars there. Walk was roughly blacktop paved and short (1 mile loop) but awesome for handicap. Trail partially closed in one spot due to fallen tree. Had to turn around there. Long very winding road to get there but a beautiful ride. Trees are amazing. Signs along path with interesting info.

Definitely worth a visit. Watching the sheer existence of the Sequoia trees was enchanting. The paved walkway made it one of the easier trails to walk making it easier to focus on appreciating the magnitude of the giants :) The trail is approximately 1.5miles long with dogs allowed (on leash).Do not forget to take a look at the boards throughout the trail, it definitely makes for an interesting read.The parking is $5 - totally worth it. However, there were certain places along the road where some had parked their cars

If you have young kids, need wheelchair accessibility, or just prefer flat and well-maintained paths, this is the trail for you. Of course, anyone of any age will enjoy this trail, its particularly welcoming because the trail and surrounding campgrounds make it very accessible to everyone. Plus, its paved. You do not need to be an experienced hiker to go on the Trail of 100 Giants.Our kids are 9, 6 and 2. We took over an hour to walk through it but we moved very slowly. There are benches along the path that are perfect to stop and have a snack and enjoy the scenery. There were other hikers on the trail later in the day. We arrived at about 9:30 and there were only two other families on it with us. But as it neared 11, it got more crowded. But the crowds were not unmanageable.We paid $10 to park in the lot across the trail entrance. There was a park employee collecting the fee there. He was friendly and told us to look for the maps along the path. There are restrooms in the parking lot but they are pretty gross. There arent any restrooms along the trail.The only reason Im not rating this 5 stars is because where the 2 large sequoias fell along the first bridge, there isnt a designated path going around it. We had to try to find our way around the trees and find the path on the other side. There was a small gap under the trees where we could have crawled on our hands and knees along the bridge to get across it but that didnt seem safe. It seems like there should have been a path more clearly labeled to get around the fallen trees. Its worth walking up there to see them in an X formation on the ground. But we had to carry our 2-year-old over the back side of the trail and up the hill to get by them. Also, the second loop doesnt have nearly as many large trees as the first loop has nor the meadows. Youll be in the sun more too.We brought snacks and lots of water. We went in late June and it was warm. We took the route from California Hot Springs and it took about 45 minutes. Its a very very curvy road and everyone felt pretty carsick but it had a pretty view. It was definitely worth seeing.

One if the most breathtaking places Ive ever been. Unfortunately the day we went a big portion of the trail was blocked off because one tree fell knocking another one down completely blocking the path. Lots of interesting facts to read along the way, my children absolutely loved it and have already asked to go back. Make sure to use the restroom or have a camper with one because there is no running water and the restrooms there smell awful.

These trees are huge and worth seeing. Parking is $5 & cash only but some people parked on the side of the road even though it says no parking. No repercussions were given. It is also handicap accessible! So if you have a loved one who is wheelchair bound, all the walkways are paved with no steps. Part of the walkways are blocked from a few fallen trees but it’s been like that for years. The drive there is also gorgeous. We came up from Kernville, definitely some spots on the way to take pictures.

Nice easy walk, trail is about a mile & a half only, wish it was longer. Two parking areas, both kind of small, but if you arrive early should be fine. Great for young or elderly since it is so easy & even wheelchair access. Beautiful scenery/trees etc....

Such an awesome place! Id definitely recommend the drive! $5 cash only for parking. Decent walk. My mom is in her 70s and made the walk which is 1.5 miles if Im correct. What a wonderful experience

Always a great place to visit and enjoy the beauty of the massive trees, even the ones that are fallen are a sight to see, the trail is paved and easy.Parking is $10 cash only if you want to park in the lot, or you can park elsewhere and walk a little bit more.

This is without a doubt the most criminally underrated hike Ive ever been lucky enough to experience! Its a simple hike, which makes it all the better since your attention can be focused directly on the gargantuan trees that line the perimeter of this marvelous hike. It feels like something out of a fairy tale. There is a meagre $5 parking fee at the entrance (at the time of writing) but that is well worth the cost of this life changing experience.

It was perfect for us! Dog friendly, easy, and informative. Many photo opportunities.

Very nice drive towards Trails .. nice scenery .. greenary.. beautiful views.. 18 miles from Trail you will not have network services so either use GPS device or print out location map .. there is parking spot .. fee is $5. Nice paved walkway and little history about each giant trees next to them. Really nice place .. kids will love it. See a pics here with for more detail.

Easy and scenic hike to see the hard and wondrous work of nature.

So awesome and amazing. In awe of just how big these trees are!

It was my first time here I really enjoyed the experience I would definitely come back and have a picnic.

Definitely a must see if in the area!! Very humbling standing next to these giants!

Visited with my teen back in May and was amazed at all the quiet & beauty there was ...

Nice place to walk and enjoy nature. The tree are amazing! Too bad Californians seem to leave dog poop, destroy nature, and drop their trash everywhere.

This place was amazing, nice trailer that were paved, great for strollers or wheelchairs. The scenery was beautiful, very peaceful. Picnic areas and restrooms. There is one part of the path where a tree fell so you have to walk around off the paved path, but it still nice to see, they commemorated the fallen trees. Really great things to see.

Very nice. Would have gotten a 5 but half the trail was closed

If you cant make it into the NP, this is a nice little area to see some awesome Sequioas. Parking area is kind of small, so get there early. There are several additional areas down the road where you can park and hike in. Remember, this is a paid site, so bring cash, be honest, and pay the fee.Also, please dont vandalize the trees! Even doing ash drawings is vandalism, no one wants to see that!

Impressive sequoias great thanks to conservationists

Beautiful place to check what mother earth has to offer!

Easy trail, nice views long road up to it but worth it.!!

So beautiful. We all need to be reminded of our place on Earth from time to time. These magnificent trees will certainly take care of that. Well worth the drive.

There are giant sequoias in a lot of places. But here theyve cleared open the forest so that you can really see and appreciate them. Fairly moderate incline paved trail lines through them. They are like nothing else growing on Earth.

Not giving it 5 stars only because part of the trail is closed off and people are just wondering off the trail around the sign that says not to go on or within 100ft of the boardwalk. There is a 10 charge to use the parking lot/pic- nic area. Picnic area was nice and clean, outhouse was clean on one side. I took my own sanitizing spray and sprayed everything before I touched it. The water isnt turned on either.

One of the most beautiful, breathtaking places to visit in Southern California. I was blown away by the magnitude of the Sequoia trees. I have driven the 7 hour round trip from my house to here and back at least half a dozen times cause I love it so much.

Awesome trail, easy enough to complete even by those who are not used to hiking. Parking space nearby and beautiful road all the way to the trail starting point. Absolutely impressive!

It is amazing to see nature and to enjoy the beauty that has to offer.

First visit with co-workers and I was amazed! The sequoias are just beautiful! I felt great being away from the City. Im definitely going back and taking my kids in the near future, cant wait to see their faces when they see, The Giants!!!

Great place for short hiking and family friendly, you can go even with stroller

The start of the sequoia forest is beautiful and not as busy as the national park. River near by is also beautiful.

Great little hike with plenty of educational placards along the way. Those giants really are massive! Please drive safely on your way up there and STAY IN YOUR LANE. It is a very small windy access road but nothing too crazy as long as you dont have people wildly taking those turns. The path is paved and the trail well maintained. Please do your part and pick up your trash! Leave obly footprints.

You really feel small and insignificant next to these trees that have been there for hundreds or even thousands of years. When you see one that had fallen, it really makes you stop and think of what it took for that to happen. I like the trail has variation so you can make it as short or as long as you want still get a feel for the place. There are two parking locations and they fill up fast. A pass is $5, be sure to stop at the gift shop for some cool items

The trails are well maintained and the trees are just amazing. Cool little plaques all over to tell you interesting facts about all the trees and what makes them special.

One of the most accessible places to experience the giant sequoias of California. Well maintained trail, huge trees, and an absolutely magical experience!

Beautiful place with informative signage. Well kept restrooms and a cute gift shop with nice products.

It was great being able to get close to the trees. It looked like a disaster area with a lot of cut down trees and debris. But would definitely recommend it.

Not necessarily a hike, more often a walk. Very easy and beautiful.

First time coming here was told about this place and it was a very nice walk a lot of beautiful trees humongous trees it is a tranquil area nice to take some good shoes and it does get a little dusty cars there is a lot of dirt you can pack a lunch and eat at the benches in the parking lot area or if you dont mind sitting down on a bench but you dont have anywhere to put here food would recommend to a visit here if you have children as well so they can see the humongous trees

Ive been to some cool places in my life; Angkor Wat, Victoria Falls, Krugar Nat. Park. These trees blew my mind and should be seen by all who can. Knowing theyve been around for thousands of years puts everything into perspective.

If you have any appreciation of nature, this is an amazing experience. The short, easy hike is gorgeous and awe inspiring. And the information signs are actually fascinating.

Absolutely stunning. You will have no cellular service but be reconnected with life. It was a long drive but worth every mile. These trees are breathtaking. The trail itself is well paved and the signage tells of all the sequoia history. An absolute MUST on your bucket list. The day we came, snow covered the ground which was a wonderful surprise. You can easily spend a day here alone or with family.

I spent two hours hiking in a very easy and beautiful hiking around some of the most beautiful and majestic trees ever. I totally recommend.

Amazing views we go there every year never disappoints!

Had a fantastic day enjoying the cool breezes and fresh mountain air. Last time we were here was before the two interconnected trees fell in 2011. You can still see the original path disappearing under the trees. One of the few places you can see these old Giant Sequoias.

One of the most beautiful places Ive enjoyed in a long time.

One of the best hikes in the area. I loved that they let you climb inside the 3 trees that grew together. The park ranger encouraged us to walk through the natural tunnel under one of these behemoths.Something they dont let you do once you actually get into the National Park.If you found this review helpful, please click Like below.

Loved all of the giant trees. Amazing to see trees 300 feet tall. Very nice trail easy to walk. Bring a bottle of water.

Amazing trails among gigantic trees.

Very cool, lots of big trees!

Great little paved hiking trail. Takes about 2 hours if you walk the whole thing and read all the signs, etc... Bring a small water for each person, nothing around there except parking ($5 per car) and a campground. A little touristy and loud at time with kids running around, but we were able to enjoy it. Dont expect peace and quiet unless you go super early (sunrise) or off season. Would go again!

Its a bit of a drive for a one day trip but it is beautiful among the huge redwood trees. Its cool and breezy so walking is easier.

It is an amazing adventure seeing these beautiful trees.

One of the less busy parks in the area. But one of my favorites! Each time we visit it seems to change just a little. Too bad a lot of the trees are dead.

Nice views of some guidance sequoias on a paved trail which is easily accessable for even the least experienced of hikers.

Stunning views of the oldest redwoods.

Beautiful area, the trees are magnificent. Sort of short but enjoyable all the same. Take a sec to stop and read the little placards, love reading and hearing about the history.

More like a cabin but very nice....clean and everything worked. Id go back!

Phenomenal place. Sacred. Beautiful and a very easy walk on paved path. This is a must see

Anybody know if this area is open again now, or still closed due to the fires?

Its an easy paved hike a bit out of the way. But worth the drive. These gentle giants are amazing.

I never knew trees actually grew so large! A must see

Trail is ok, but a bit too short, not so many tall trees, lots of fallen. If you want really picturesque sequoias, drive up north to Sequoia national park .

This place is absolutely amazing! The trail is paved and I believe it to be wheelchair friendly. You cannot put into words and photos do not depict just how grand these trees are. This is worth the trip and you should go out of your way to experience the trail of 100 giants!!!

Great little trail with beautiful trees and clean air.

Live this place peaceful, relaxing. Will go again

Amazing scenery and experience with my family we love coming up and enjoying the view.

Beautiful walk! We pulled our 1 and 2 year old in a wagon and they loved it!

One word - awesome. The driving to the location is also much fun!

Cool place to check out. Quick and easy mile hike.

This area is always changing, always beautiful and always worth the trip!

It is so peaceful. Gods work is truly amazing!

Really great spot. Accessible to all. The felled giant Sequioa bridge has had nature happen with another felled giant Sequioa! Photos just cant capture the grandeur and wonder of these Giants.

Reminds me of the northern redwood areas- beautiful wheelchair accessible portions, easy trail for most. Great place for kids

Very easy trail, but these trees, omg :-)

Breath taking experience. This is one of the best hikes ever. I cone here at least once a year to admire natures best.

Its nice, but I cant say terrific. Parking $10....should be free

Hella awesome and beautiful place full of history and trees that are hella tall

It was easy to get there and they had convenient parking lot at the entrance of the park. It takes a few minutes of walking thru the place to start to truly appreciate it.

Definitely worth the drive if you are in Kernville or Lake Isabella. The road up is a bit small for a large vehicle and takes about an hour but the view of the trees is spectacular. There is a babes trail that a handicapped scooter or wheelchair could access. Bring $5 for parking. The trail is mostly shaded and very easy. You can walk the whole trail in about 30-45 mins.

Lots of Sequoia trees, huge and really old ~ 2000 years. Also lots of fallen trees, kids have a blast playing the ground is lava.

Beautiful place a bit far from LA but the landscape and walks around the woods worth it

Very nice one of a kind place, not too crowded, wear confortable shoes and bring water.

Great hike. Giant trees. Very excite.

Magnificent... pictures do not do them justice. It really is something you must experience at least once in your lifetime.

Outstanding views and little kid friendly. Gorgeous ancient redwoods and meadows that make you feel like youre in a nat geo special.

I enjoy walking around this trail to see the trees and wildlife

It is a nice place to visit, if like to hike this is best place around the nature.
