Yucca Plants

Kings and East Kings Rivers in the Kings Canyon. The Kings Canyon is deeper than the Grand Canyon is wide.

Me at the Chicago stump. this tree was cut down in sections and reassembled in Chicago for the world's fair. Before that these trees were called the California hoax. One had been cut down and taken to Philadelphia earlier but no one believed it.

Rusty old logging equipment (I think) in Stump Meadow

  2. A prescribed fire is set by people. The idea is to make a manageable fire in an area where wildfire hasn't been in a while. It improves the forest ecology and sequoia regeneration.
