Unfortunately, the previous day in Yosemite Valley had drained my camera battery so I had to photograph the giant sequoias with my phone. Could be worse though, we had spent the night in Camp 4 surrounded by European climbers and attempted to make smores over a smokey campfire. Early in the morning we headed out to see the famed, enormous trees in south Yosemite National Park, in Mariposa Grove. Some of the larger trees are actually located outside the park but we sadly didn't have time to adventure there...there's always next time!

It's almost unbelievable how huge these trees were....also frustrating to take pictures of, because you need people in the shot for scale, but you don't want to ruin the beautiful tree photographs with people...

| Endless forests, fresh crisp air, birdsong... |

| Clothespin Tree! |

| Pictures just cannot convey the majestic size of these ancient beauties... |
We had to leave the trees behind and head to the city for the night, but I still can't wait to get back to Yosemite, and it's been months...
Lady, this shit's intense. I can't handle how huge those trees are.
