When I went in spring of 2021 there was lots of debris on trail and large fallen trees to cross due to a winter wind storm. There was damage to some structures. It was closed later in the season due to hazard trees so please check with the Bass Lake ranger station before you go.

Be careful not to block people in when parking and cause a traffic nightmare. Also be careful not to get lost on faint sections of trail. Shadow of the Giants trail is closed indefinitely due to the railroad fire destroying that portion of the grove.
