This area has the highest number of imposing sequoias in Yosemite. Absolutely go there. In recent years, the area has been restructured to protect the plant world from human influences.

The dimensions of a giant sequoia can be estimated especially well on this tree, which fell over about 300 years ago.

Mariposa Grove is a one square kilometer patch of forest where around 500 mature giant sequoias stand. Only found on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, these giant trees, which can live up to 3,000 years, are the largest organisms in the world. They owe their longevity largely to their fireproof bark, as summer and fall wildfires are not uncommon in the Sierra Nevada. The fireproof and up to 60 cm thick bark protects very effectively against forest fires.

Last but not least, the so-called Sequoias owe their extraordinarily long lifespan to their great resistance to enemies of all kinds (the tree bark has a high tannic acid content and thus keeps insects and fungi away) and its amazing ability to regenerate.
