About Merced Grove Trail
Descend into a tranquil valley filled with about 20 giant sequoias, offering a peaceful escape from more crowded areas. The trail follows an old road, lined with incense cedar and ponderosa pine, before reaching the sequoias. It's a less visited but equally impressive destination, providing a serene hiking experience.
