Hiking

Wildfires hollowed this fantastic fallen sequoia, making it a walkable tunnel when it fell. It is so large that the Gamlin brothers, who were a pair of loggers, used it as temporary housing in the past. It was also once used as a hotel with a saloon. The U.S. Calvary later utilized the space for stables for their horses from 1890 to 1914 after the General Grant National Park was established (now part of the Kings Canyon National Park) for patrolling the Park. It is one of several notable majestic trees in Grant Grove.
