Help power the National Parks Traveler’s coverage of national parks and protected areas.
Our climate is changing, and not subtly. And it's having a great and visible impact on the National Park System. We saw flooding and fires at many units of the National Park System this year, as well as historic droughts thought to be the worst in 1,200 years.
Estimated to be almost 3,000 years old, the Grizzly Giant sequoia tree in Mariposa Grove of Yosemite National Park stands 209 feet (63.7 m) tall. As you walk around the tree, you’ll notice it has a bit of a lean, and that’s not just due to the wide-angle-lens perspective in this photo. Back in the early 1900s there were fears the tree might fall over, so stabilizing cables were proposed. The cables were never installed and the tree remains in place. The lean could be due to the giant sequoia’s root system.
