The Forest Service, with lightning speed (for the Forest Service), has decided what to do about the conjoined giant sequoias that fell and blocked the popular Trail of 100 Giants in Sequoia National Forest last September. After considering cutting through the 280-foot trees or building steps over them, among other options, the USFS will reroute the trail around the trees with a boardwalk. “The Trail of 100 Giants was refurbished in 1997 to provide increased accessibility for those with disabilities,” said a ranger. “I would like to see this loop opportunity re-opened to all visitors.” Construction is expected to run August to November.
