Hiking
According to the information board on this tree: "Its trunk, which extends to the top of the crown, is covered by a striking, reddish-brown bark. This is soft and fibrous, but difficult to ignite. In this way, giant sequoias survive the forest fires that are common in [California] almost unscathed."
