Fun With Chris and Jane

Our various adventures on California trails (and elsewhere)

August 16, 2008 – Trail of 100 Giants

August 16, 2008 – Trail of 100 Giants

July 25, 2012 Chris Comments 0 Comment

After camping two nights at Quaking Aspen, we decided to visit the Trail of 100 Giants monument on our way back home. Located on the Great Western Divide Highway, it is the home of dozens of giant sequoias in what is perhaps the most accessible grove south of Sequoia National Park. A paved trail meanders throughout the grove, and informative plaques are placed along the path to help visitors better appreciate their surroundings. It was a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours and a must-see for anyone in the area.

Over the last few years, we have discovered - or really, re-discovered - our common love of hiking. Although we typically enjoy the proverbial mountaintop experience and the sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching some summit or another, we sometimes prefer easier trips that are less taxing. In any case, we hope the visitor appreciates not just the natural beauty of the California areas to which we have been, but in some small way participates with us in the experience as well. We spend several weekends in Pismo Beach each year, so much of our hiking takes place on the Central Coast. We also like camping in the Sierras, so we've done several trips along the Great Western Divide and the Kern Plateau. Additionally, we have done a group hike (known as Chris and Jane's Excellent Adventure) with family and friends each Labor Day since 2009 - these trips are included in their own page. Finally, we recently purchased a cabin in Wrightwood, so many of our latest hikes have been in the eastern San Gabriel mountains. Enjoy the site!
