November 29, 2020A short and quiet loop at the entrance for Kings Canyon. A good place to stretch your legs if you’re short on time or just looking for a scenic walk. Very accessible for all ages.
November 27, 2020October 26, 2020It was great!
September 5, 2020I loved it so much I wrote a blog https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/6961371587367992335/5139148114413339266
August 23, 2020August 22, 2020One of our favorite trials. Plenty of shade. Picnic tables at parking lot.
August 21, 2020August 10, 2020Was not impressed with this trail. Much of it follows the road, so quite a bit of noise. There were several stumps from large sequoias that were chopped down, hence the name of the trail. But it was sad to see. The rest of the scenery was uninteresting. Trail is an easy loop. I don’t recommend it.
August 6, 2020Nice- loved it
July 18, 2020Fun trail with my kids, they enjoyed climbing on the huge stumps and the beautiful meadow. The trail is over grown a little bit in a couple of small sections but nothing you can’t get through. Overall a great first hike to start the day at the park!
July 4, 2020June 7, 2020I visited here many years ago. Enjoyed seeing all the stumps in the meadow. Walked around and took photos. Very scenic.
February 22, 2020Nice little trail with snow and great views at the bottom (1/2 ways through loop) Our dog loved it!
February 20, 2020Its a peaceful short trail that i believe can be done by anyone. i was having troubles with my signal so the recording is a little glitchy. if there is snow when you go it may be a little difficult to keep track of the trail.

October 26, 2019The ranger called this "a hands on, interactive, interpretive trail." Perfect discription, it was great for all ages! It's one of the lesser known trails, because it hasn't been over run.lt offers great panoramic views of the meadows and opportunity for perspective. I imagine at some point the wildlife thrives on this area, but we didn't see any.
October 9, 2019Super cool! Doesn’t look like a whole lot of people do the whole loop so it was nice and quiet on the other side of the highway!
October 9, 2019Fun for kids to climb on stumps ! Easy, less traveled hike so nice to get away from crows.
October 4, 2019We were short on time, so we parked by the ranger station just walk to big stump and back. I wish I would’ve been able to do the rest of the hike it looked magical
July 31, 2019Not really easy. Quite steep and downhill.
July 30, 2019Fun trail! Lots of great stumps to see and admire!
July 17, 2019Super fun, easy trail. The highlight was definitely the WILDFLOWERS! They’re all over and there’s so much variety. Most of the trail is shaded and stays comfortable even during the hottest time of day. A small portion of the trail was a bit muddy/wet, so wear decent shoes. Also, bug spray is recommended.
