Yosemite National Park

Protecting Nature's Forest Masterpiece

No matter how many times you’ve seen the giant sequoias in Yosemite’s Mariposa Grove, it’s hard not to wonder at their size and tenacity. Sequoias can grow for millennia, reaching heights of nearly 300 feet. More than 150 years ago, they helped inspire the Yosemite Grant Act, which set aside the grove as one of the nation’s first protected landscapes.
