The biggest grove of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park, Mariposa Grove is home to two of the biggest sequoias in the world. The Grizzly Giant is thought to be 1,800 years old. Your best is to hike to the grove, which also features the California Tunnel Tree that you can walk through. You can park at the entrance to the grove, or take a one-hour tram tour that operates seasonally. Visit the National Park Service's website for updates on temporary closures that periodically occur.

Easily accessible giant sequoia trees near the southern entrance of Yosemite valley. Plenty of beautiful trees and easy hiking trails. There are two main parking areas one near the highway and the other one just next to the giant trees.

Picked a perfect day to go ... ended up hiking the Mariposa Grove trail. It was an amazing adventure and the view at the top was worth the long hike.
