Standing tall and proud for thousands of years, California’s giant redwoods and sequoias captivate visitors with their sheer size and age. Some of these incredible trees have stood for over 3,000 years, reaching heights above 300 feet.

The first drive-through tree, cut in 1875 in Tuolumne Grove, Yosemite, was a 2,500-year-old sequoia.
