Land of the giants

This is a young giant sequoia tree that was on display at Muir woods. These trees grow to be the worlds largest tree (in terms of total volume). They grow to an average height of 50-85 m and 5-7 m in diameter. Looking forward to our next trip out to the forest to Yosemite National Park which includes the 'Grizzly Giant' tree, the largest in Yosemite. The groves are in the Sierra the eastern part of California... cannot wait to see these giant trees in real life!
