The giant trees were discovered in 1852. The location first gained notoriety from a sequoia called the Discovery Tree that was cut down in 1853 and 24 foot diameter sections were shipped and exhibited in San Francisco, Cape Horn, and New York City. It was originally 363 feet tall, but now is only a 3' platform base where it originally stood. The posted picture was our hike through the South Grove area (a 3 mile hike with scattered Giant Trees). The colors and spring undergrowth of the forest was so green and vibrant. The beauty was unexpected and we plan to return in the Autumn when the undergrowth is changing colors. #GreatOutdoors #Nature](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6185230/b1c5daef-c141-4dd6-a925-b5664b8cf1d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![The Stump is what once was a Giant Sequoia tree that gained publicity in 1852 when mentioned by Augustus Dowd. The Discovery Tree fell on June 27, 1853. It took 3 weeks to cut down the Discovery Tree. Pump augers and chisels were used to cut it down, as no saw was large enough for the project. Discovery Tree measured 24 feet in diameter at its base, was 363 feet tall, and was determined by ring count to be 1,244 years old when felled. #LikeALocal](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6185230/8d9eacf6-fd3b-4ba0-9c2a-472bdd9b5675.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![I've found my roots here.

(326 reviews) Excellent value for the minimalist traveler that needs the bare essentials. Virtual remote staff check is novel and efficient. Air conditioner did not work, rooms not well sound proof, parking limited but extra two spots outside. Good location. Limited amenities but expected for this value property. Would book again and recommend if at a good price.

(1,632 reviews) Resort offers so many amenities and lovely areas to relax and play. Loved the pickleball, pools and patio vistas. We are not members so were given a very old room in an old building. The room served our purposes but did not entice us to buy a time share. Had we been gjven a newer room- this may have been different. We loved being within 45 min of SanDiego, Torrey Pines, La Jolla and more. The wine region of Temecula was outstanding. Two weeks of fun was had.
