BIG Trees











We're camped just outside the gates of Sequoia National Park and ventured in to see the giant Sequoias. Drew is pictured in front of "General Sherman", thought to be among the oldest (2200 years) and largest (1385 tons) trees on Earth. The sequoias grow naturally only on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada at 5,000-7,000 feet of elevation. It truly is like a religious experience to walk among these gentle giants. Awesome.
