Tharp's Log is a cabin built by Hale Tharp out of a downed, giant sequoia log. Back in 1861, Hale Tharp built this cabin in a tree, making him the first non-Native American to live in the Giant Forest. He grazed cattle in these meadows in summer and near Horse Creek, in the foothills, in the winter.
