The Little Boulder Trail meanders through a portion of the Evans Grove Complex. Along this trail there are views of Kings Canyon to the north, including the 7 Sisters or the Grand Dike across the canyon in Monarch Wilderness. The rounded tops of the Sequoia trees in Evans Grove Complex are visible on the ridge to the west. In the early 1980s, this grove was harvested of non-sequoia species and underburned in order to provide openings in the forest canopy and allow Sequoia trees to grow in the sunlight.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
