Day 3: Giant Sequoia Trees
Mariposa Grove
The Mariposa Grove contains some of the largest living things on earth- the Giant Sequoia trees. I've heard the really big ones are in Sequoia National Park south of here, but these trees were impressive nonetheless.
These trees are called 'Bachelor and Three Graces'
Here I am standing in front of a tree that had a tunnel cut through it a long time ago. Thank god the damage didn't kill the tree.
On our way up to the grove, we saw this young deer close to the walking trail.
Just before leaving the park, we stopped off at Wawona Lodge for our last meal. They had a beautiful pond with lotus flowers.
Here's a pink lotus surrounded by lily pads.
Even though we spent just 2 and a half days in Yosemite National Park, our memories will last a lifetime. The fresh air, pine forests, granite mountains, waterfalls, and spectacular vistas made quite an impression on us. As Art said quite simply during our hike to Cathedral Lake: "I love this place."
