Placer County Big Trees Grove is home to the following named sequoias not on the largest list (pictures above and below)

• Pershing Tree
• Joffre Tree
• W. B. Lardner
• Douglas Haig
• Roosevelt Log, fallen in 1861. 
  

Placer County Big Trees grove is the northernmost sequoia grove in existence, discovered in 1855, it is also the most isolated from other groves.  It has just 6 large trees growing there so it is one of the smallest ones.  Of these trees the largest, the Pershing, is just over 10 feet dbh.  The second largest, 9 foot dbh, the Joffre tree, I measured as the tallest reaching to 244 feet above high ground.

The grove has a good, approximately half mile long, and less than 200 foot altitude gain, trail winding thru it and past every one of the living and fallen big trees.  Interestingly, all of the names for the trees in this grove belong to famous World War I veterans.  The well kept grove itself covers only approx 2 acres out of the 160 acres in Tahoe National Forest set aside for recreation, so is not difficult to explore.  It is not very busy, and is equipped with a parking lot and toilets at the trailhead. 

Below are some pics of the grove's largest tree, the Pershing.

The second-largest tree, the Joffre, is shown below.

The other four sequoias that you see in the grove are shown below. Three of them are lined up in a most orderly fashion, as sequoias that germinate all at once often do. The fourth is right next to the line.

And lastly, below are the recently fallen carcasses: two pictures of the Roosevelt Log and one of its contemporary peers.
