    Hiking

    It's unfortunate to learn this, but the Mark Twain tree was cut down in 1891 so that parts of the trunk could be exhibited in museums in New York and London.

    Environmental consciousness was not yet born at that time.

    It was very impressive to stand on this gigantic tree stump. Ultimately, it's hard to imagine how huge these trees were/are.
