Description
The 1,800-year-old Grizzly Giant sequoia continues to dominate the Mariposa Grove and is now protected from visitors with fenced walkways. F.L. Olmsted described the sequoias when he first saw the Big Tree Grove as "the grandest tall trees you ever saw, ...they are distinguished strangers, have come down to us from another world..." (1863-11-20 F.L.O.-Mrs.O.) {Vegetatiion - Site Furnishing - text}
