The Mariposa Grove is 1 of 3 groves in Yosemite that contain giant sequoia trees, most of which are thousands of years old. Located at the national park’s southern end, it has more than 500 mature giant sequoias. The oldest tree in the grove is named the Grizzly Giant, reaching almost 210 ft tall and estimated to be over 1,800 years old.
