Mariposa grove parking lot

This giant sequoia is smack in the middle of the Mariposa Grove Parking lot in Yosemite National Park. From the parking lot you can hike up and see more giant sequoias, ride an open "tram" around the trees for $25 a person, or shrug it off as one big tree looks pretty similar to another big trees and go on your way. I don't particularly suggest the tram (a cart pulled by a tractor) unless you have a high tolerance for diesel fumes, but walking the whole trail is a little much unless you have a lot of time to spend in Yosemite. For my money, walk a bit on the grove trail from the parkinglot, then turn around when you're nearly bored. Laura has more.

Coast Redwoods California.

My car among the giant redwoods near the California coast. Getting a halfway decent picture of the redwoods is difficult due to their size. The Avenue of the Giants is the easiest place to visit with more than a few giant redwoods. Socklabs Blog has some more pictures.
