Haven't been there since my teens. Right outside the booming metropolis of Murphys, CA., which itself is about an hour and a half drive from the San Fran Bay Area or Sacramento, either way. Felt good to see my old friends again. They're a bit taller and so am I... though I doubt I'll ever get as big as they are. Some of the big ones have branches the size of a good-sized oak tree.This is the North Grove loop, which takes about an hour and a half to walk. I'll spare you the running patter and just let the pics speak for themselves.
Note use of hat for pathetic attempt at scale. This is a sort of *medium* sized sequoia.
There.That should hold all you nature freaks for awhile.
That's some big wood you got there, OP.
