Leaving Sequoia Park, there is a long downgrade and you’ll want to be sure to downshift rather than ride your brakes – the locals told us that vehicles of all sizes come down out of the park with brakes smoking due to overuse.

 Giant Sequoia National Monument Proposal
Giant sequoias are literally the most monumental of species - trees, in John Muir's words, of "singular majesty." The largest exceed thirty feet in trunk diameter, and reach higher than the Statue of Liberty, base pedestal and all, higher indeed than the top of the U.S. Capitol Building dome.
Historically, the giant sequoia belt was California condor country and, indeed, the last condor captured in the wild was found nesting in a sequoia, halting efforts to log the grove (temporarily).
Lacking a tap root, giant sequoias also need a reliable source of year-round subsurface water in a region with little summer rainfall; they suffer when logging in their watersheds reduces and diverts groundwater flows.

Grove shall include a 500 foot no logging, restricted mechanical entry zone outside of the hypothetical perimeter line of outermost giant sequoias of the Grove within the final Grove Boundary line and an added 500 foot Grove Influence Zone.
