Yosemite National Park, California: Fallen Monarch


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.
