March is a quiet time in the grove. A perfect time for a first visit. Mariposa offers easy hiking for young children. The sequoias are amazing, awe inspiring.
Mariposa Grove was a good introduction to big trees, but ultimately doesn't quite match up some of the groves in King's Canyon or Sequoia NP. Busy too, though not too difficult to get a bit if space if you are prepared to walk.
从yosemite南门进入,开车半小时不到就到了,如果没有停车位需要坐公园shuttle,从wawona开半小时到,每10分钟一班车。如果以前看过红木,这里看两小时就够了
Well worth the trip - lots of beautiful, huge trees and lots of history. Go all the way to the end where you'll see an old cabin and historical things.
Very limited parking so you have to park somewhere else and ride the shuttle going inside. No problem as shuttle is frequent. Easy trails with not much slope.Unique experience to see these large magnificent trees. Never imagined trees can grow so big. You have to see it in person to have a perspective of how big these things are.
这里的巨大的树很多,据说是世界上体积最大的树。我们到了之后坐了tram, 看到了各个景点,大约2小时,要单独买票。这里也有Trail可走,但不长,只需1小时。
优山美地南部的美洲杉和国王峡国家公园有大量的巨型美洲杉,优山美地这里也不遑多让,当然,美洲杉不是优山美地的主打品牌,这里树龄大约只有200年不到的样子。比起优山美地的其他美景,这里只能是一个点缀。
The sequoias are large no doubt, but I found it less impressive than the redwoods of Muir Woods. The trails are poorly marked and very confusing, they need to be updated ASAP. There was also fallen trees and debris on the trails.
You can't hardly take in all of this granger. The age and history is hard to comprehend. Some of the walks are a little tiring for older people, just pace yourself and take water, Go at least to the Giant Grizzly it is so worth it! You will see many amazing trees along the way.
Amazing beautiful enormous trees in a quiet forest. Do see them before the park closes for renovations and removal of the Parking Lot later in 2015. Entrance fee is now $25. Only negative, as others have said, is that the signs are confusing and the distances are longer than indicated. I am 60 and my wife and I had to give up going to the end of the trail and turn back. Yet what we saw and learned was amazing and worth the day trip from the other parts of Yosemite.
