Seeing the giant sequoias in Calaveras Big Trees State Park is often a highlight of our ambassadors’ journeys. Join us as we walk the North Grove Trail, a 1.5 mile trail through these noble giants.
You can find a detailed trail guide at http://parks.ca.gov/pages/551/files/northgrove.pdf.
We will meet at the Visitor’s Center, have lunch in the picnic area, take a photo at the Big Stump, and then explore the North Grove. Afterwards, you are free to go on your own to the charming and historic town of Murphys, the gardens and tasting room of Ironstone Vineyards (including the amazing gold nugget), or other points of interest in California’s Gold Country.
NOTE: when driving up there is little to no cellular coverage in the area so you won't be able to call anyone if you are running late. Please try to arrive 15 minutes early if possible.
