Sierra Nevada, Yosemite

I spent the night in Mariposa, CA after driving highway 120 through Yosemite. In the morning, I went to Yosemite valley to climb to the top of Yosemite falls (7.2 miles, 2700' gain). In the afternoon I walked to a grove of Giant Sequoia trees. In the evening I drove to Lake Tahoe.

Giant Sequoia.

These trees are the largest living organisms in the world.
