Giant sequoia groves grow only on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, and the Giant Forest may be one of the finest. It's home to the General Sherman Tree, the world's largest living tree. Hiking trails wind through the sequoia grove and meadows. Moro Rock / Crescent Meadow Road leads to features such as Moro Rock, Tunnel Log, and the High Sierra Trail. The Big Trees Trail that circles a meadow offers an easy hike that's ideal for families and people in wheelchairs. Giant Forest Museum is open year-round an offers exhibits, park information, and a park store. Though there are no campgrounds in Giant Forest, there are two seasonal campgrounds nearby in the Lodgepole area. Besides camping, Lodgepole Village offers a seasonal visitor center, a market and deli, showers, and other services. Wuksachi Lodge and Restaurant are nearby and are open year-round. Lodgepole trails lead not only to the Giant Forest, and also to alpine lakes and High Sierra views.
