In Awe of the Giant Sequoias

On Tuesday, we drove to the Mariposa Grove and took the tram ride around the grove. It was just awesome.


We couldn't get too close to the trees; they have determined that walking too close will damage their roots, so it was hard to get a photo with any perspective.


This was taken on the way back to the motorhome as the sun was setting.


Yesterday, we hiked to the Tuolumne Grove. There are about 20 sequoias there and it was a beautiful day and nice to be out.



This is one of the 'tunnel' trees. That's me standing in it.


The colors are starting to change. This is Gerald standing next to a sequoia that fell in 1983.
