There sure are some big trees in California. Yosemite has some in Mariposa Grove, near the South Entrance.
This is a good way to demonstrate just how big these trees are. Fallen Monarch died and fell over a while ago. This way, you can see the size of the roots. Yes, those are people in the background. And note how far the tree goes back into the distance.
Whew.
You are allowed to feel sorry for the tree upon its death. However, it has been estimated that it died when it was more than 2,000 years old. That's a lot of life. The root system is more than 15 feet high.
