McKinley Grove

McKinley Grove is a small, isolated giant sequoia grove located about 12 km southeast of Dinkey Creek in the Kings River watershed of Sierra National Forest, California. The grove occupies a small bowl-shaped depression at an elevation of 1925 m.

The grove hosts between 150 and 200 large trees. Parts of the grove were logged in the 1980s, though the heart of the grove remains largely untouched. A short paved path winds through a cluster of about 20 giant sequoias with an open understory of dogwood resembling that of the Giant Forest grove of Sequoia National Park. The grove also features a large fallen giant sequoia.

History
The grove was originally called "Washington Grove" after the 1st president of the United States, George Washington. The grove was later named Dusy Grove, after a colorful local settler. Later, the grove was named after the 25th president, William McKinley.
