The largest tree in the world is here at this park. It is the General Sherman tree.
It is 275 feet tall and 40 feet wide at its base. This tree is estimated to be 2200 years old.
The picture below is of Jeff standing inside of the Black Arch tree. It was burned and the inside is still black. The tree does not die when it is burned as long as some of the bark is still alive and if it is then the tree will continue to grow with the bark growing around the burned areas.
This black bear was heading to the meadow to snap up some yummy grasses and plants.
I walked through this awesome and huge tree. Jeff snapped a photo to show just how big it is !
We saw this deer snapping up some nice, new green growth on the side of the road.
Jeff and I hiked a trail to this waterfall and it was really flowing heavy that day since all the snow was melting from the mountains.
This baby bear was very cautious when he saw us walking on a trail near a meadow. But he soon scurried off into the meadow to catch him a quick lunch.
This bear was not the momma of the baby above. She was just munching away on the side of the road when we saw her. She didn't even bother to look up at us.
Notice the tag on her left ear - that usually indicates she is a 'problem' bear. This means she has probably been caught in the campground scavenging up food or trying to tear up the bear boxes that hold the campers garbage. They get two infractions, then unfortunately after, they are put down
See ya down the road !
