Big Trees Trail

Dogs No Dogs

Parking at the Big Trees Trailhead is available only for vehicles with disability placards in the summer. Other cars must park at the Giant Forest Museum (about a quarter-mile walk away) or elsewhere, and runners can take connecting trails to get here. If you don't have a placard but need one, stop by the visitor center for a temporary tag. In winter, the trailhead is open to all if the Generals Highway is open.

Big Trees Trail circles Round Meadow in a 0.7 mile loop. It is flat, paved, and has benches along the way. Informational displays offer insight into the nature you're experiencing. Walk here from the Giant Forest Museum or link with other nearby hikes like Bear Hill Trail or Hazelwood Nature Loop.
