The Graveyard of the Giants Trail is by far the longest trail within the Nelder Grove Historical Area and the one with the most change in elevation. You will pass numerous mature giant sequoia trees like The Leaner which has the same impressive height as the Tower of Pisa. Kiowa, Hawksworth and Clothespin Tree are more interesting trees along the trail.

4 miles from the trailhead to the Nelder Ridge group off giant sequoias means this area gets few visitors..
