Nice job man good video.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thank you!

[@theidahonian5321]

Awesome tour guys! I was unaware that they had torn out the asphalt. Good management. 👍

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Agreed. We didn't even know they had done anything to it, in fact we almost went to one of the smaller groves closer to our campground (Crane Flat), but were out exploring that day and just happened to stop. Thanks for watching.

[@GOODTIMESOUTDOORS]

Awesome, those trees are amazing. We would love to visit there.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Hopefully you get to, it is awe inspiring! Thanks for watching.

[@stevesoutsideadventures]

Very Cool , I hope to see them one day

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Definitely worth it! I wasn't that worried about seeing them, but we needed a rest after hiking Clouds Rest the day before, so we visited the Sequoias and wow, was I amazed.

[@stevesoutsideadventures]

👍

[@greg33770]

never seen 'em in person......always wished i had.....

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

It's a unique experience, makes you feel reeeeeally small!

[@shaneslone7077]

Great video! That is the first place I visited when I was there 15 years ago. Like you said we pulled up and parked right by some of the trees. My first hike was from the parking area then all the way to the cabin. Nice to see they have returned so much back to nature. There was a gift shop inside the cabin when I was there.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Cool to hear from someone that experienced the old grove. That cabin is locked down right now, not sure what their plans are with it. Their visitor center/gift shop is now at the new parking area, two miles down the road. Thanks for watching.

[@HikeCamp]

Been to one sequoia forest in CA. It was a unique experience. Your vid brought back some memories.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Unique is definitely a way to describe it! I thought I had seen big trees before, but nothing like this.

[@jasonwish-]

Its hard to ever get tired of seeing those giants! We were at Mariposa just before they closed it for reno. Also enjoyed Big Tree State Forest in Arnold, and saw the Agazi Tree which is supposedly the 2nd biggest after the Gen. Sherman Tree. Thanks for taking us along, love how you do some of the vid with voice over.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Thanks! I hope to find some more of those big trees next time we venture out west, I'll keep Big Tree State Park in mind.

[@adventureswithLK]

We have the Giant Redwoods here were I live, but even those do not compare to the Giant Sequoias. Truly amazing trees. Definitely a national treasure. Well done video guys.

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

We wanted to go to Redwoods National Park, just couldn't make it this time. We did try to to go to the Muir Woods National Monument, but they required reservations, and we were too late. Next time! Thanks for stopping by.

[@calihiker7980]

When did you visit? Before the Ferguson fire or in the last week or so since they reopened it? The work they did to the Mariposa Grove is truly amazing. It literally looks nothing like it did, and without the constant drone of car engines it’s much more peaceful!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

This video was recorded 3 days before the Ferguson fire started! Crazy how quickly things change, but it was sooo dry out there. They did an amazing job on the restoration. Thanks for watching!

[@shawnbikes]

I hereby am extremely jealous of you and catfish's journey to this area. This is the one major recreational area I've always wanted to visit. Something about a huge tree that makes you feel pretty young in the end :) Great video my friends! Great tree? Treeage? :D

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Haha treeage! It took me 48 years to go to this area, don't wait as long as I did. Now all I can think about is, when can I go back!?

[@danc1197]

Is all of it opened for public trampling or is some of it saved for natural preserve?

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

A huge portion of the trails have wood railings on all sides so people can't "trample" around the sequoias. That was kind of the point of the 3 year renovation. This protects the roots of the trees, and also the small saplings that are just getting started. There are more trees further up the hill that don't quite have the same protections.
