The Merced Grove at the northwest part of Yosemite National Park has a nice selection of Giant Sequoias. There were fewer people at this grove and we thought the collection of trees was more impressive than Tuolumne Grove. There is more history associated with this grove too.
Mariposa Grove at the south end of the park was closed so we went to the two groves at the north. We went to the Tuolumne Grove first, shown here. We would later go to the Merced Grove which we liked much better. There were fewer people and more giant sequoias.
Unfortunately, this giant had burned.
My sister (above) and niece (below) give a sense of the size of the trees.
