“The MARIPOSA GROVE is situated in the southern portion of the Yosemite National Park, 35 miles from Yosemite Valley. There are two other groves of big trees in the Park – Tuolumne Grove with about 40 trees, and Merced Grove with about 100. The Mariposa Grove has about 500. The most famous tree in this Grove is the Grizzly Giant, 30 feet in diameter at the base, 93 feet in circumference and 204 feet tall.” Enthusiasts of big trees, particularly fans of big tree postcards, should check out an earlier post on the subject.
