Sequoias Take 2
This was our second time visiting the magical Sequoias. We stayed at the Azalea Campground near Grant Grove in the Sequoia National Park. We saw the General Grant tree, the third largest tree in the world.
We came across several, ancient fallen Sequoias you could walk though. Sequoias have very thick, fire-resistant bark to protect from forest fires. The fallen giants we came across must have fallen long ago and fire burned the inner wood core, but the thick bark skeleton remains.
Fun fact: The most common way a large Sequoia dies is when it becomes too gigantic and falls over.
