Chicago Stump
About this site
The Chicago Stump Trail is a short and easy hike to a very interesting and historical site. The hike weaves throughJeffrey pines and shrubs to a verdant meadowringed by young sequoias, red firs and azaleas. The Chicago Stump was originally known as the General Noble Tree. In 1897, it was cut down into sections and reassembled at the Chicago World '||chr(39)||'s Fair. This magnificent display was referred to as the "California Hoax," because of widespread skepticism that a species as big as the giant sequoia ever existed. Distance: 0.6 miles, out and back. Additional Info: Dispersed camping is available in the surrounding Converse Basin Grove. Restrooms are available at the trailhead but no potable water or picnic tables. Low clearance vehicles not recommended on access road FS Road 13S03. Standard interagency fee applies via National Park Service agreement.
