Sequoia National Forest


This is the root base to a giant 2,300 year old Sequoia that fell in 1959. Amazing to think that this tree pre-dated Jesus.
John Muir after exploring Giant Forest wrote, "When I entered this sublime wilderness, the day was nearly done, the trees with rosy countenances seemed to be hushed and thoughtful, as if waiting in conscious religious dependence on the sun, and one naturally walked softly and awestricken among them."
