That means that it is taller than a building that is 27 stories high! It measures 103 feet around its base. These giant sequoia trees have really thick bark. The bark is one to two feet thick. That is twice a thick as a redwood trees bark. These trees can easily live to more than 3,000 years.  Moro Rock This is a huge rock that you can climb. Stairs with rails have been put on the rock so that just about anyone can make the climb to the top. It is 400 steps to the top! Making it to the top will give you unprecedented views of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and the Great Western Divide. Below is a video of the view from the top! This is a wonderful camp. This is a camp that is open year around. Youth camps, family camps and adult retreats fill up their calendar. They have private cabins and lodge rooms available to the public. There is a beautiful lake filled with trout, rock climbing, swimming pools, rope courses and more. Crystal Cave Crystal Cave is the most visited cave here in the park. These caves are different than other caves because they Marble caves. They have put lights inside the cave so that you can see. Bring a sweatshirt, it is cold inside the cave!
