Big Trees Hike & Riverside Cookout Adventure

Experience the awe-inspiring majesty of the world’s largest tree species during a memorable hike along an historic stagecoach road. This two and a half mile roundtrip adventure takes you deep into the shadows of thousand-year-old Giant Sequoias, where you can walk through a tunnel tree, crawl beneath a fallen giant, and marvel at the sheer size and age of these incredible living monuments. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights about the history, ecology, and unique characteristics of the Sequoias, making each step both educational and inspiring. The hike offers a moderate challenge, beginning at a high elevation of approximately six thousand feet and descending gently by several hundred feet within the first mile, providing a rewarding mix of exercise, exploration, and immersion in nature’s grandeur.

Discover the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation as the hike concludes with a visit to a riverside beach, where you can swim, unwind, and enjoy a cookout in a serene natural setting. The combined hiking distance of around three miles ensures the experience is accessible for most participants with a reasonable level of fitness. While the group tour is not recommended for children under eight years old, custom private adventures are available for guests of all ages, allowing families and groups to tailor the journey to their needs. From towering Sequoias to tranquil riverbanks, this adventure provides an unforgettable opportunity to connect with nature, learn about one of the world’s most remarkable tree species, and enjoy a day filled with discovery, activity, and relaxation in a breathtaking setting.
