Mountain Home Grove, Ancient sequoia forest in Sierra Nevada, California

The Mountain Home Grove contains numerous giant sequoia trees reaching heights of 240 feet and trunk diameters extending to 27 feet.

The forest experienced substantial logging operations during the 1870s, leading to the loss of many large trees including the Centennial, previously considered Earth's largest tree.

The forest area holds evidence of Native American settlements dating back 9,000 years, with seasonal camps used for hunting and gathering activities.

Five campgrounds throughout the forest provide amenities including picnic tables, campfire rings, drinking water, and toilet facilities for overnight visitors.

The Genesis tree stood as the seventh largest recorded tree in the grove until the Castle Fire of 2020 caused substantial damage to its structure.
