Founders Grove
The most popular stop along the Avenue of the Giants, with a flat loop trail past the fallen Dyerville Giant.
Founders Grove is named after a founder of the Save-the-Redwoods League. A flat loop of about 1 km takes you past the Founders Tree, about 79 meters tall, and the fallen Dyerville Giant, which toppled in 1991 and measures about 113 meters. The trail gives a direct sense of the scale of redwoods. Located in the middle section of the Avenue of the Giants, it is free to visit, and the Humboldt Redwoods State Park visitor center is right next door.
