Nestled in the southern, less-visited part of Yosemite National Park, the Mariposa Grove Trail hike takes you on a tour through a grove of 500 mature Giant Sequoia trees, including some that are 2,000 years old. The grove was first protected by Abraham Lincoln in 1864, added as a National Park in 1906, and in 2019 reopened after an extensive restoration. The 7 mile Mariposa Grove Trail hits all of the major attractions in the grove. It’s got a little bit of climbing, but in general, is pretty easy and offers great scenery for the effort.
