Moro Rock is a granite dome rock formation in Sequoia National Park, California, United States. It is located in the center of the park, at the head of Moro Creek, between Giant Forest and Crescent Meadow. A stairway, designed by the National Park Service and built in 1931, is cut into and poured onto the rock, so that visitors can hike to the top.Wikipedia
Was out this morning and autumn is still glorious.

This is the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree in the world. Enlarge to see the people standing at its base and you'll get some perspective.
Other trees are taller or wider, but none has the combined weight and width of this leviathan. The General Sherman Tree measures 103 feet around, and soars 275 feet into the blue Sierra sky—and it’s still growing. Every year it adds enough wood to make another 60-foot-tall tree.
Still can’t grasp the size? One branch of the General Sherman is so big—almost 7 feet in diameter—that if were a stand alone tree, it would be larger than most trees east of the Mississippi River.

Drive-Thru Tree Park is a privately-owned grove that has been operated by the Underwood Family since 1922. Located approximately 180 miles north of the San Francisco Bay Area, the park was an ideal stopping place for overnight or week-long stays.

Not the largest cut redwood for sure, but a good for size comparison.
BTW; there is no "I" in this image ;-))
Tjis tree is really big, I barley managed to accommodate in this frame from where I was standing. It’s way taller than that five story apartments building on the other side.
"The Big Tree" at the Big Tree Wayside in Redwood National and State Parks, California. According to a sign, this tree is 286 feet tall, 23.7 feet in diameter, 74.5 feet in circumference, and about 1500 years old. Signs pointed to many other "big" trees in the area.
It’s just an outhouse but to many in a prettier setting than this. Taken in Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park on Vancouver Island

While walking along the Foothill Trail with a view looking up and to the west at nearby coast redwoods in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Part of my idea with the image composition was including a nearby sign that had quite a few exhibits for big trees around the area!
