Grizzly Giant

Last spring, we missed the Grizzly Giant because Mariposa Grove was closed due to the snow. This time it was open. Repeat after me - "Hip Hip Hurray!... Hip Hip Hurray!!" You're silly. So we did a short easy hike from the south entrance of Yosemite to see the 2700-year-old tree. Not only is the Grizzly Giant the largest tree in Yosemite, but it's the 5th largest tree in the world (2 million pounds). What a waste! That could make 102,053 IKEA $39 coffee tables.
