[edit]Northern Section
[edit]- Buck Rock Lookout. A neat lookout way out on the top of a rock. Near Hume Lake, east of General Grant tree.
- Delilah Lookout. A fire lookout that is 60 feet above the ground.
- Chicago Stump. Was a healthy 2000-year old sequoia until it was logged. Some of its pieces were sent to Chicago, where easterners called it a hoax, thinking that no tree could possibly be that wide. The stump is now about 20 feet tall and 25 feet in diameter. It's just north of the General Grant tree.
Southern Section
[edit]- The Needles. A bunch of sharp peaks, one of which holds a fire lookout with a fantastic view.
- Dome Rock. Neat place to visit, even if you're not a rock climber. There's a great view of The Needles.
- Trail of 100 Giants. Northeast of Johnsondale, is popular for its many giant sequoias.
