Large Trees, Redwoods, Sequoias Where do we find them?

I am planning a trip to San Francisco in 2 weeks. I am trying to plan out an iteniary of things to do there. I am very familiar with the San Francisco area, but I am not sure if there are any other areas to see the giant trees within a reasonable drive from the city other than John Muir Woods just north of San Francisco. I have been there several times & would like to go somewhere else if possible. I am taking my parents & inlaws with me whom are all in thier early 70's & healthy. Some walking is okay but not any long distance or rugged hikes please.
Thanks
Dan

I'm not sure how far you want to travel but Mariposa Grove has some Giant Sequoia's. One is named Grizzly Giant is probably 1600-2000 years old. Its about a 3 hr drive.

Grant Grove is another pretty amazing place: http://www.nps.gov/archive/seki/ggvc.htm but its 200 miles away...

Muis is your best bet for its distance.
