Such an innovative cabin made from a fallen Sequoia tree! The walk through Crescent Meadows to get here was just beautiful. Only about 0.8 mile trail (one way) with a paved path. We went later in the afternoon on Labor Day and the trail was relatively quiet & peaceful. Note: We were not able to drive ourselves and had to take the shuttle to this area since the road to get here was very narrow and it was a busy day...

It was wonderful! The temperature was great! No mosquitos. I was super excited walking the little trail. The color of the plants were yellow and green. It was just beautiful. The little benches on the side of the trail were perfect to rest a little bit! So many wonderful places to take some breath...

A very cool historic landmark with some amazing near by scenery. Probably the best home location in the national park. This small home inside a large log is right next to another large open meadow with some great views. A very interesting site to see and well worth...

Imagine living inside a giant fallen sequoia tree 🌲 Tharp’s Log was once the summer home of Hale Tharp, a cattleman who turned this hollowed sequoia into a cozy cabin in the 1860s. You can still step inside today and see where he cooked, slept, and lived surrounded by the Giant Forest. Tip: Tharp’s Log is a short walk from Crescent Meadow, so it’s easy to pair both in one visit. Arrive early to enjoy the quiet and spot deer grazing in the meadow. The walk is flat, easy, and family-friendly, making it a great stop for all ages.
