State Park preserves two groves of giant #sequoias - the world's largest trees - in the North and South Groves. The park is a mixed-conifer forest (a variety of trees living together). In addition to the giant trees, you will find the Stanislaus River, Beaver Creek, ancient volcanic formations, and natural
meadows. #Trails throughout the park allow you to discover the natural beauty that has awed visitors to the area since 1852. Governing body California Department of Parks and Recreation Calaveras Big Trees State Park is a state park of California, United States, preserving
two groves of #giant sequoia trees. It is located 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of #Arnold, California in the middle elevations of the Sierra Nevada. It has been a major tourist attraction since 1852, when the existence of the trees was first widely reported, and
is considered the longest continuously operated tourist facility in California. Shortly after their discovery by #Europeans,
giant sequoias were subject to many exhibitions
Trees by Europeans is in 1833, in the diary of the explorer J. K. Leonard; the reference does not mention any specific locality, but his route would have taken him through the Calaveras Grove.[1] This discovery was not publicized. The next European to see
the trees was John M. Wooster, who carved his initials in the bark of the 'Hercules' tree in the Calaveras Grove in 1850; again, this received no publicity. Much more publicity was given to the "discovery" by Augustus T. Dowd of the North Grove in 1852, and
this is commonly cited as the discovery of both the grove and the species as a whole The "Discovery Tree" was noted by Augustus T. Dowd in 1852 and felled in 1853, leaving a giant stump and a section of trunk showing the holes made by the augers used to fell
it.[2] It measured 25 ft (7.6 m) in diameter at its base and was determined by ring count to be 1,244 years old when felled. A section of the trunk was toured with little fanfare while the stump was later turned into a dance floor. John Muir wrote an essay
titled "The Vandals Then Danced Upon the Stump!" to criticize the felling of the tree. Discovery Tree - Largest known Giant Sequoia but it was cut down. Notice an adult person in above picture standing on its platform trunk In 1854, a second tree named the
"Mother of the Forest" was skinned alive, of its bark in 1854, to brotective bark was take away, tree lost its resistance to resistance to fire. If you look closely there are
still horizontal saw marks in the wood to remove it bark. The tree didn't survive long after, having shed its entire canopy by 1861.[4] In 1908, with the tree unprthe Mother of the Forest. Mother of the Forest John Muir for Mother of the Forest In early 1880s a tunnel was cut through the compartments by a private land owner at the request of James
Sperry, founder of the Murphys Hotel, so that tourists could pass through it The tree was chosen in part because of the large forest fire scar. The Pioneer Cabin Tree, as it was soon called, emulated the tunnel carved into
#Yosemite's
Wawona Tree, and was intended to compete with it for tourists Calls for preservation[edit] Despite or due to the 1850s exhibitions, the destruction of the big trees was met with public outcry.[16] In 1864, on introducing the bill that would become the Yosemite
Grant, senator John Conness opined that even after people had seen the physical evidence of the Discovery Tree and the Mother of the Forest, they still didn’t believe the trees were genuine, and that the areas they were from should be protected instead.[17]
However, this did not guarantee any legal protection for the trees of Calaveras Grove. Establishing Calaveras Big Trees State Park[edit] By the turn of the century the land was owned by several lumber companies, with plans to cut the remaining trees down,
as sequoia and giant sequoia with their thick trunks were seen as great sources of lumber.

Have you ever visited Reinhardt redwood regional park

[@NedVenture]

Maybe a very long time ago, but I should put it on my list.

[@CraigMullins1]

Do you know the hours of the park? Do we need tickets? Do we need to buy in advance? Prices?

[@NedVenture]

Since it is a campground, it is always open. $12 per car no advance purchase needed. Get there early for good parking.

[@florenceantonette]

What we’re your favorite trails? I would like to visit for just a day and curious to know which ones were your faves. Thank you!!!

[@NedVenture]

The main trail by the visitor center is easiest to see most of the large trees.

[@TallTreesClub]

We sure enjoyed Calaveras. On another note, Redwood NP has coast redwoods that dwarf Calaveras' biggest ... Here's a sample: th-cam.com/video/5Q4v8VbNyOg/w-d-xo.html

[@EternalWithin]

In height, maybe. But the sequoias weigh much more and are wider at the bases. Keep in mind, the general Sherman is nowhere close to the tallest sequoia, just the largest. Google may say it is the tallest, but let me tell you from personal experience, that’s not true. The tallest sequoia I’ve seen was around 310 feet

@@EternalWithin Actually coast redwood is the widest species in the USA. It was discovered in 2015, but is only noted in one news story by the Lost Coast Outpost, and one arborist website. It was found by a Certified Arborist and a guy from Germany in 2009, and revisited and measured in 2015 by a board member of the Save the Redwoods League and another guy Zane Moore (published albino redwood researcher and tree expert).
