Avec les séquoias côtiers géants en Californie
Exploring the giant sequoias in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, California, completely changes your sense of time. 🌲
Some of these trees have been standing for thousands of years. My entire lifetime would barely register in their story.
We spent this trip exploring both Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park, and seeing these giants in person was one of those moments that makes you realize just how small we are in this massive world. 🤎
Does this make you feel amazed… or incredibly small? 🤯

As Sequoia National Park abrigam alguns dos maiores seres vivos do planeta — árvores com milhares de anos e uma massa que ultrapassa 1.500 toneladas. 😳
Na trilha Congress Tree Trail, a sensação é quase impossível de explicar: perto dessas sequoias gigantes, um ser humano parece minúsculo.
Algumas dessas árvores já existiam antes mesmo da queda de grandes impérios da história.
Se visitar a Califórnia, tente incluir essa trilha no roteiro. Ela é considerada uma das caminhadas mais acessíveis do parque e uma das experiências mais impactantes da região.

This tree is about 1350 years old (which means it was planted before the Viking ages). Some sequoias even grow to be 2,000-3,000 years old making them one of the oldest living species ever known! A seed small enough to balance on your fingertip can grow into one of the largest/oldest things on the planet.

It’s National Park Week and I hope everyone can visit our country’s beautiful public lands. But Congress must do more to protect these lands for future generations to enjoy. I’ve led the Save our Sequoias Act to protect these iconic trees.

Standing beneath the giants 🌲
Some of these ancient giants have been standing for over 2,000 years, with trunks so wide you can walk inside them.
The sequoias aren’t just tall, they’re the largest trees on Earth by volume.
Walking through📍Sequoia National Park feels like stepping into another era, one where nature reminds you just how powerful and enduring it can be.
There’s nothing quite like looking up into the canopy of a sequoia and feeling wonderfully small.
Have you witnessed these majestic beings? ✨

You won’t understand how massive these trees are until you stand next to them. 🌲😳Can you believe this tree weighs more than 10 blue whales? 🐋🌲
Some of these giant sequoias have been standing for thousands of years, growing to a size that’s almost impossible to comprehend until you’re right beside one.
The sequoias aren’t the tallest trees in the world—they’re the largest trees on Earth by volume. 🌲
Walking among these incredible giants was an experience I’ll never forget. 🌲✨ Their sheer size and age make you feel so small, yet completely in awe of nature.
And the best part? It’s an easy, mostly flat 1.2-mile loop, making it a great trail for experiencing these incredible trees without a strenuous hike.

@aureliestory Can you believe this tree weighs more than 10 blue whales and is older than the Roman Empire? 🤯
Sequoias are massive, and standing next to one feels like meeting a living skyscraper made of wood and time... you MUST add this place to your bucket list 🍃

Can you believe this tree weighs more than 10 blue whales🐳🌲
Sequoias aren’t just tall — they’re unbelievably massive. The numbers don’t even make sense until you’re actually there. Over 1,500 tons of living wood. Thousands of years of history. Just... rooted.
Standing next to one feels like meeting a living skyscraper made of wood and time. You feel so tiny in the best way - quiet, grounded, and completely in awe.
You HAVE to add this place to your bucket list.

Welcome to Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias 🌲
Home to more than 500 mature giant sequoias, Mariposa Grove is the largest grove of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park. Some of these trees have been growing here for more than 2,000 years, making a walk through the grove feel like stepping into another era.
One of the most incredible trees here is the Grizzly Giant, estimated to be around 3,000 years old. It stands roughly 209 feet tall, with a massive trunk more than 30 feet in circumference at the base. Its enormous lower branches alone are larger than many full-sized trees. 🌲
Another iconic tree is the California Tunnel Tree. In 1895, a tunnel was cut through the living sequoia to allow horse-drawn stagecoaches to pass through. What’s incredible is that the tree is still alive today. Despite having a large section of its trunk removed, it survived and continues to grow - an incredible example of the resilience of giant sequoias. 🌲
And these are only two of the many remarkable giants here. The grove is also home to the Bachelor and Three Graves, Faithful Couple, Clothespin Tree, Mariposa Tree, Telescope Tree, Fallen Monarch, and many other ancient sequoias.
Standing among trees that have witnessed more than two millennia of history is something you have to experience for yourself. 🌲🤍
If you visit, stay on designated trails, give these ancient giants plenty of space, and follow Leave No Trace principles so they can continue standing here for generations to come. 🌎
