Yosemite • WALKING THROUGH TREES! Giant Sequoias

Walking among (and through) the 2,000 year-old giant sequoias of the Tuolumne Grove. Mariposa Grove, right near the south entrance to Yosemite, is closed until 2017 for rehabilitation. It really is a more impressive grove of giant sequoias. Not to take anything away from the Tuolumne Grove. It has some stunning trees, and is a great way to get up close to some of them. If you sensed any disappointment in not being able to get into the Mariposa Grove, it's because that was where I say my first giant sequoia. It was a powerful experience. Photos simply do not do the experience any justice. Tuolumne Grove is only about 20 minutes from the Yosemite Valley, so it is a more convenient trip than the Mariposa Grove, which is about 1.5 hours from the valley. There is a 1.1 mile hike (on a paved road) into the grove. It's a gradual downhill (on the way there). Once you get into the grove, there is a network of smaller trails that take you to the various giants. The tunnel in that you see in the video, was carved out in the 1800's as a tourist attraction. It's the first such tree to be tunneled for automobiles to pass through. The tree was over 2,000 years old (possibly 3,000) when it was "tunneled". This lead to it's demise, less than a century later. As humans, we suck sometimes. One of my favorite stories about a giant sequoia is Walter Fry. He was on a team of five men in charge of cutting down a sequoia for lumber. It took the five men five days to cut the tree down. Once it had fallen, Fry counted the rings to see how old the tree was. He was astonished to find that the tree that they had taken down in just a few days, had lived for 3,266 years. He was so moved and sickened by his act of destruction that he changed careers and became a park ranger. In 1912, he became superintendent of Sequoia National Parks, charged with protecting the things that he had ignorantly destroyed.
