The above pic is of several of the outliers in the grove that you see first when hiking into the grove from the lower road.

 
Some groves are exceptionally well named, and Landslide Grove is definitely one of them. Its moniker evokes an image of a steep hillside from which you would assume that the grove is the most precipitous around and the hardest to navigate, but in truth that is not the case currently. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of groves that are seriously steep in places, a really hard climb to go straight up;  the majority of them are that way in places at least. (And if you happen to have a pretty roundish-shaped camera like I do, don't drop it, it’ll roll a ways. You might be chasing for a while unless the strap catches on something, thank you very much... : ) But actually, I found that Landslide was not really a very difficult grove to explore.
 
I tried going into the upper part of the grove from the Quail Flats, 5 Corners Road, but that was closed last week, it being early in the year. So instead, I went for the lower grove entrance road. There is a nice though pretty basic campground right across the street from the dirt road that heads up to the bottom of the grove. It is forest route 13S33 off of Ten Mile Road. Ten Mile Road still had a bit of snow on it but was navigable, no problem. The forest route was actually a beautiful, smooth dirt road and not really very steep. I believe I could have driven my Camaro up it If I had keys to the lock on the gate. The walk up the road was about two miles of a relatively mild uphill series of three switches back and forth, and at the end of them you actually sight the three outliers of the grove and proceed past them into the grove. 
 
Simply wandering upstream alongside the creek that runs through the center of the grove will give you a satisfying view of the finest of the grove's giants, and it turns out that the grove has just been cleared of a lot of deadwood (which is currently stacked in burn piles all around), so the view of the sequoias is unusually unobstructed. It does detract from the natural untainted forest perspective, but I am glad of the concern for the big trees' welfare that the clearing of the deadwood demonstrates. And I am sure it will be back to its former unspoiled beauty in a year or two, and the better for the forest fuel reduction.
 
There are a couple of really large trees in the grove that were named by my friend Sue--Landslide Giant and Burly Giant--and I made sure to measure them. I found only one more that nearly approaches their volume, which I also measured. They are not big enough to be champion specimens, but still big enough to impress at around 25k in volume. In addition, there are a lot of nice sequoia groupings, the most beautiful of which is a group of eight that is right at the bottom of the grove very near the end of the road. I noticed one sequoia that is pretty much a cabin tree, as it is hollowed out at the base to provide seating for several weary sojourners, or it would be perfect for an overnight stay.

Specs are shown below on the three largest of the trees in the Landslide Grove:

Burly Giant
Base circumference:  84'
DBH:  20.77' 
Height:  267.5' 
Volume:  27,534 Cubic Feet

Landslide Giant
Base circumference:  73' 4"
DBH:  17.9' 
Height:  267' 
Volume:  25,841 Cubic Feet

Landslide Verdure Tree
Base circumference:  74' 6"
DBH:  17.83' 
Height:  239' 
Volume: 24 ,799 Cubic Feet


Below are a couple pics of the Burly Giant Tree, the largest in the grove. Notice the growths on the trees base in the second picture. I understand that most likely the growth is a site of old damage to the tree that developed the trees equivalent of a scar, likely from lumbers equivalent of an infection.

The Landslide Giant Tree is the second-largest tree in the grove. Below are a few pics of it. The long straight bole remaining very thick most of the way up to its crown is evident in the pics and is why it is one of the largest volume trees in the grove.

The Landslide Verdure, third largest tree that I measured, has a large basal burn on two sides and a small window from one to the other side of its cavities. In spite of the damaged base it does have a lovely full canopy of foliage, as yet with only a small protruding deadwood spire.

There were a lot of small groups of sequoias in clusters, more so than in most groves i've seen. One of the most photogenic was a group of eight below. It was equipped with either a seat for the weary traveler or a hitching post for a miniature horse, dogs, maybe cats...

And there was a neat burned hollow sequoia that would make a good cabin tree, or at least break room for the lumber crew, complete with stump section seats. Entrance and inside pics of the cabin tree below.
