Mariposa Grove / Wawona Historical Area

Those gentle giants (Sequoias)

One way to lift a big rock

They're just big!

There's that Yosemite blue sky

I see you!

Today we took a stroll through the Mariposa Grove of Sequoias.  To get there we had to park at the Wawona Historical Area support buildings, walk through the historic area and take a shuttle.  Like most of the park, it was packed though we found few people were really taking the longer walking trails through the Sequoia grove.  This was a new area for us. When we were here in 1999, we walked through the Tuolumne Grove near Crane Flat.  



While we enjoyed today's walk, if you really want to see Sequoias we recommend Sequoia National Park.  Here's a few pictures of today's walk.
