| • | The following is a list of Giant Sequoia groves. All groves are located in moist, unglaciated ridges and valleys of the west slope of the Sierra Nevada range in California, USA. They occur between 1370-2000 m (4500-6500 ft) altitude in the northern half of the range, and 1700-2250 m (5500-7500 ft) in the south. Groves in the northern half of the range (north of the Kings River) are widely scattered and mostly small, while those south of the Kings River are more numerous. The total area of all the groves combined is approximately 14,416 ha (35,607 acres). The groves are listed from north to south in the list below.
This list is based on four different sources, with slightly varying views on what constitutes a discrete grove; the differing interpretations are noted in italics. The lists of groves were compiled by Rundel (1972; recognising 75 groves), Flint (1987; recognising 65 groves), Willard (1994; recognising 65 groves), and the Giant Sequoia National Monument Visitor's Guide (2003). Currently, the US National Park Service cites Rundel's total of 75 groves in its visitor publications.
