Tuolumne County in California is a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, this area offers endless opportunities to hike, bike, camp, and enjoy the great outdoors. Plus, it’s the perfect base for exploring Yosemite National Park, home to towering giant sequoias and iconic photography spots.
The giant sequoias in Tuolumne Grove are truly awe-inspiring. These colossal trees can reach heights of over 76 meters and have trunks as wide as a bus. They live for more than 2,000 years, making them some of the oldest trees on the planet.
To see these giants, hike the Tuolumne Grove trail, starting from Big Oak Flat Road. The trail descends through beautiful forested areas before reaching the grove. You’ll see your first giant sequoia about 0.3 kilometers from the start. The trail is a 4-kilometer round trip, with a bit of a climb on the way back, so bring plenty of water and be prepared for an uphill hike.
Experience the Magic: Hiking through the trunk of a fallen sequoia is a must-do!
Wake up early to catch a vibrant sunrise over the Stanislaus River in Kennedy Meadows. This spot is ideal for fly-fishing, whether you’re a pro or a beginner. The river is home to rainbow, brook, and brown trout. Local experts from Sonora Fly Co. can help you get started and guide you to the best fishing spots.
