Sequioa june 2009


Shortly after entering Sequioa National park we found the tunnel tree. There was so few people there that we parked in the tunnel for a photo op.





General Sherman in the largest tree in the world based on volume of the trunk not height. And he's still growing. I was impossible to photograph the whole tree and the people too.

The tree in the photo had fallen. The path we were on just passed under the tree with the cool little creek.








This tree had fallen decades ago. The early loggers use the hallow of the tree for a cook house. The hallow was over 100 feet long. Life as a hobbit.





General Grant tree is the national christmas tree. Don't ask me why. I didn't see even one decoration.

Bryant Belnap: a man so tall he must own a convertible and drive it with the top down. But watch out for low bridges!

Looks like a great trip--those trees are amazing!
