Sequoia Giants - Calveras Big Trees State Park
Calaveras Big Trees State Park is a state park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains that is preserving two groves of giant sequoia trees. The North Grove contains about 100 mature giant sequoias; the South Grove, about 1,000. According to Naturalist John Muir the forest protected by the park is: "A flowering glade in the very heart of the woods, forming a fine center for the student, and a delicious resting place for the weary." The park houses two main campgrounds, one of which we stayed at.
The oldest known giant sequoia based on ring count is 3,500 years old. Giant sequoias are among the oldest living things on Earth.
