How to see 500-Sequoias in Yosemite National Park: Hiking to Mariposa Grove

Mariposa Grove is located in Yosemite National Park and is home to over 500 giant sequoias. To get to the grove, you can hike down the Washburn Trail located at the end of the parking lot, walk down the Mariposa Grove Rd., or take the free shuttle from the parking lot to the first grove (saving you from hiking 4 miles). The past couple years the shuttle has no been running, so be sure to check out the National Park Service's website if using this option. the https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisi...

Once at the grove, there are several different loops ranging from easy to strenuous with various different distances. In this video, we hiked down the Washburn trail to "The Bachelor and the Three Graces," to the "Grizzle Giant," and ended our journey at the "California Tunnel Tree." If you have time, it is worth hiking to the upper grove.
