Black Mountain Grove, Protected sequoia forest in Tulare County, California.
Black Mountain Grove contains over 500 large sequoia trees spread across 3,310 acres of land between the Middle and South Forks of Tule River.
In 1987, environmental advocates filed a lawsuit against timber operations, leading to the 1990 Mediated Settlement Agreement that limited tree harvesting in the area.
The grove extends partially into the Tule River Indian Reservation, representing a connection between natural preservation and indigenous territorial heritage.
Access to the grove requires navigation through forest roads or hiking trails, with an elevation reaching 6,400 feet above sea level.
The grove ranks as the sixth largest sequoia grove globally by tree size, stretching 19.3 miles in length across the California landscape.
