This grove has an uncommonly high concentration of cinnamon Sequoias in its center.

I decided to try a circumnavigation of the outskirts of the Kennedy grove today like I just did at Muir grove, however it didn’t work out as well here as it did for me at Muir.  I only really made it halfway around and got distracted by a large tree or two that I wanted to measure, then ran out of water, daylight, and energy; I never did make it all the way around the periphery.   This grove is harder to walk all the way around, not because it is much larger, tho it is, but because there is a lot of altitude change on the northern side and also a lot of undergrowth in places which hampers cross country walking.
 
There is presently a lot of logging cleanup happening both on the way to the grove and on its edge between the roads end and the actual sequoia grove.  That may improve the roads going into it, but I expect it wont help with its future underbrush situation.  I even got a sunburn hiking into the grove because of the deficit of tree cover.  And surprisingly, I saw a snake, which is unusual in my sierra forest hikes.  The lack of tree cover encourages the thorny bushes to take over unfortunately and makes the area seem so much more arid.
 
The results were good however, I did measure a couple good sized trees.  The largest was about 26 k cubic feet in volume;  the largest i have measured in the grove so far.  Also in Dwight Willard's book he mentions a “Top-heavy giant” with a large basal burn that has one of the more impressive crowns.  I came across a tree like that and measured it at about 17 k volume tho there are conflicting reports about its identity.  Dwight said it looked right, but his notes dont put it in the right place apparently.
 
Here are specs on the 2 largest trees that I measured today in the grove:

Kennedy Giant
Base circumference:  76' 6"
DBH:  18.5' 
Height:  244.5' 
Volume:  26,705 Cubic Feet

Top-heavy Giant
Base circumference:  65' 6"
DBH:  15.4' 
Height:  218' 
Volume:  17,732 Cubic Feet

Below are a few pics of the Giant Kennedy Tree.

The Top-heavy Giant tree is below.

I also had to snap a pic of the Forktop in between a couple other young uns as I passed it by.
