The Freeman Creek trail located in the Giant Sequoia National Monument is a pretty unique trail that drops you down through the Freeman Grove of Giant Sequoia Redwoods.   The size of these ancients of the woods will skew your perspective of big in regards to living things.   This grove is the largest grove in wilderness condition (having never been logged) outside of the Sequoia National Park further to the north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some more of my ramblings on this trail<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Bear Creek and Camp Nelson trails see more MTB action, this is a trail that is worth checking out if have the time. (At least based the last time I rode it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I LIKE big trees and I can not lie!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after this video was shot in 2006, the trail was severely sanitized by a trail crew using a bull-dozer.\u00a0\u00a0 The trail eventually eroded back into something akin to single-track.\u00a0\u00a0 In 2020, a wildfire went through the grove.\u00a0 Some of my friends that live in the area have not been back on the trails since the fires but the area was hit pretty hard.\u00a0\u00a0 Wildfires are part of the lifecycle of the Giant Sequoia’s so I suspect they survived.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
