Griswold is a hard hike in the Western Divide Ranger District of Sequoia National Forest in California, about 6.6 miles long with a one-way elevation gain of 3,774 feet. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and is an out-and-back route that climbs from a low point of about 5,359 feet to a high of about 9,148 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows both horses and bikes, so it works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. That makes it a flexible option for a longer trip with gear. Several other destinations sit close by. Doyle is about 0.8 miles away, Long Meadow about 1.7 miles, and Jacobson about 2.5 miles. For an overnight base, Wishon Campground is about 3.4 miles off.
