Crescent Meadow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crescent Meadow is a small , sequoia-rimmed meadow in Giant Forest region of Sequoia National Park. This sierran montane meadow marks the western terminus of the High Sierra Trail, which stretches from the meadow across the Great Western Divide to Mount Whitney. Pioneer Hale Tharp homesteaded in this and nearby Log Meadow. Conservationist John Muir visited this meadow many times and praised it highly calling it the "Gem of the Sierras".
The meadow lies at the end of a three mile paved road which leaves the Generals Highway near the Giant Forest Museum.
