Long Meadow Grove

Long Meadow Grove, also known by some as Redwood Meadow Grove is a Giant sequoia grove which offers a half mile interpretive trail, Trail of 100 Giants, through majestic mature sequoias. It is fairly easy to get to by car on Western Divide Highway (County Route SM107). It is best to visit in the summer when the road is open, or in the winter by snowmobile. The grove is about 340 acres with sequoias occurring on considerably less acreage as there are several pockets of mixed conifers without sequoias in them. The grove is primarily on the west side of the road and directly across the road from Redwood Meadow Campground. Redwood Meadow campground is adjacent to Long Meadow Grove, and Trail of 100 Giants winds through the grove. Hiking along the trail through the grove, you'll find mainly old sequoias. These include the Umbrella Tree, False Bonsai, Spike Top, and the Cedoia Tree which is actually a cedar and sequoia tree growing together. The Quintet is a circle of five sequoias growing together. The largest known sequoia in this grove is Red Chief tree near Table Mountain which is the 41st largest giant sequoia in the world with a volume of 28,723 cubic feet.

Noteworthy trees

Some of the trees found in the grove that are worthy of special note are:

*The Quintet: This is a close group of five trees, three of which are growing together.
*Cedoia Tree: A giant sequoia and cedar growing together.
*Red Chief: The largest tree in the grove, It is in the southwest corner of the grove. It is in an area which has been logged of nearly all non-sequoia trees, therefor one can see the whole tree.
