Giant Sequoia are the most massive individual trees in the world. They grow to an average height of 164–279 feet with trunk diameters ranging from 20–26 feet. Record trees have been measured at 311 feet tall. The specimen known to have the greatest diameter at breast height is the General Grant tree at 28.9 feet.

The oldest known giant sequoia is approximately 3,200 years old based on dendrochronology. Giant sequoias are among the oldest living organisms on Earth. Giant sequoia bark is fibrous, furrowed, and may be 3 feet thick at the base of the columnar trunk. The sap contains tannic acid, which provides significant protection from fire damage. The leaves are evergreen, awl-shaped and arranged spirally on the shoots.

The giant sequoia regenerates by seed. The seed cones are 1–3 inches long and mature in 18–20 months, though they typically remain green and closed for as long as 20 years. Each cone has 30–50 spirally arranged scales, with several seeds on each scale, giving an average of 230 seeds per cone. Seeds are dark brown, yellow-brown wing along each side. Some seeds shed when the cone scales shrink during hot weather in late summer, but most are liberated by insect damage or when the cone dries from the heat of fire. Young trees start to bear cones after 12 years.

Face it, the Kern River Canyon can get pretty busy and camping can be crowded on weekends. Look forward to exploring new trails and camps east of the river. Up Sherman’s Pass – onto secluded forests, with OHV trails, mountain bike trails, horseback riding trails, meadows and much more. Seeking the east side of Kern, for access to South fork of the Kern River, which runs near the PCT and through Kennedy Meadows, CA

Domeland Wilderness is situated in between the Chimney Peak Backcountry Byway and the Big Meadow Road #22S12
