The first two parts of California to become protected were the Yosemite Valley which we 'did' yesterday and the Mariposa Grove of giant Sequoias which we saw to-day. The route from the lodge went through the present Yosemite National Park and over a road that went up to over 5,000 feet.

The pictures speak for themselves really.


'Grizzly Giant' is the biggest in the grove with a circumference of 96' and an age of over 2000 years.


The tunnel was carved deliberately - no longer the 'done thing'.


Location:Mariposa Grove
