Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Packsaddle Grove is a medium sized sequoia grove on Giant Sequoia National Monument. This compact grove offers a rare look at a truly old growth forest where California condors have, and may once again live. The main access to this grove is by driving dirt roads and then hiking cross country. The terrain is steep so it's difficult hike. You can only visit this grove in the summer when the roads are open. The main option in this grove is to hike cross country through it. It is a fairly wet grove because it straddles Packsaddle Creek and its tributaries. The largest known sequoia in this grove is Packsaddle Giant, which has the fourth largest ground perimeter of any sequoia at 107 feet. Near the giant is the Candelabra Tree. Another interesting tree in this grove is the General Lee Tree, also known as the Ghost Tree. This tree would be one of the largest trees, except for its broken top. However, it is growing a new top or leader.
