Facts and practical information

Muir Grove is a giant sequoia grove in Sequoia National Park of the Tulare County, which covers about 215 acres. The grove, located in the northwest corner of the park, is accessed by the Muir Grove Trail which begins from the Dorst Creek Campground. Because of its relatively remote location in the park, it is significantly less visited than the more popular groves of large sequoia trees in the park. The isolated atmosphere helps keep Muir Grove untouched and preserved. ()
