Tuolumne Grove of giant sequoias, at Yosemite National Park California.

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.

I truly appreciate the silence of these giants compared to the noise papers will make... Have you visited them?

Thank you for all faves and nice comments!

general sherman tree was overwhelming majestic and awe inspiring.

everyone was standing in front and I wandered around to the back and was blessed with the evening light shining so gloriously.

makes me realize that I want to always be standing away from the crowd, seeing things differently, being a light finder, and thus lays the blessing.

explored...thanks everyone....

Finally got to go to a place I've been wanting to go since childhood: Sequoia National Park.

Was quite the experience walking amongst trees that are up to 3,700 years old, and 40ft in diameter.

**I tried this shot with a wide-angle lens, but the distortion didn't convey the true size of these massive giants, so went with a conventional lens on this one, which is why you can't see the top of the tree.
