Since the National Parks are very busy on the weekends, we decided to go to Sequoia National Monument south unit on Saturday to avoid the crowds. The Trail of 100 Giants is a highlight of the national monument. It is a beautiful walk through several hundred Giant Sequoia trees, which range in age from 2 to 1500 years old.

| Our trail brochure stated: Look Skyward. Wow...look how they are "leaning". How much longer will they stand? It appears they are being undercut by the stream. Since the needles on the tree were still green, this giant tree had fallen very recently. It looks like they will have to reroute the path and update the brochure. Since it takes many 100's of years for the sequoia to break down they will have plenty of time. |
