Hart

Hart is a giant sequoia located in Kings Canyon National Park within the Redwood Mountain Grove, one of California's most concentrated areas of these enormous trees. The tree stands out among the forest canopy with its massive trunk and towering form.

Michael Hart discovered this tree in 1880, making it notable among California's giant sequoias of the 19th century. The tree became recognized as a remarkable specimen within this ancient forest community that has existed for millennia.

Located in Redwood Mountain Grove, the Hart Tree represents the enduring connection between California's natural heritage and forest conservation efforts.

Visitors can reach this tree by hiking trails that wind through the sequoia grove with varying terrain and difficulty levels. You should prepare for uneven ground and potentially wet conditions, especially after rainfall or snow.

Hart stands just feet away from another giant sequoia called Roosevelt, creating a remarkable forest pair side by side. This close pairing illustrates why this grove holds one of the world's highest concentrations of these ancient trees.
