As
you drive around the Giant Forest, you are given many opportunities to
encounter massive trees. The area near Crescent Meadows has a lot
of these giants, and there are many trails you can take to explore among
them.
This is a great picture to illustrate just how big these trees are.
The girls stand among three trees close together, and carved out by fire.
The view the girls had when they looked straight up.
Brandi holds a little pinecone of the sequoia tree. Fire is essential to the growth of the sequoias. The fire opens up the pinecones. Chicory squirrels also help.
The famous Tunnel Tree
