Giant Trees Museum.jpg

Here at the Giant Trees Museum in Sequoia NP you can get some idea of the scale of these trees. Compare the building to the tree standing in front of it. The museum is a great place to start. It has information on the life cycle of the sequoia trees. Fire is not their enemy. In fact, their seeds won't be released from their cones until the heat of a fire causes them to open. Fire clears the forest floor to allow light for the sequoias to sprout and flourish.
