Calaveras Big Trees State Park


The mountain pass on Rt. 4 was closed.

I took Rt. 88 across the Sierras.

Along Rt. 4 in the foothills is
Calaveras Big Trees State Park.



I took the loop trail.




The North Grove has several interesting features.




A walk through Giant Sequoia is always a treat.




A giant sequoia tree standing tall after thousands of years.




The Mammoth Tree was not so lucky.




It was systematically disassembled


and shipped to New York for display.


There's nothing like an afternoon stroll in a Sequoia Grove...
