The Field Atlas
0/363Forest chapter · 36.49° N · 118.57° W
Groves of Sequoiadendron giganteum — the most massive trees on Earth — on moist, mid-elevation west-slope benches of the Sierra.
General Sherman is a single living thing the size of a cathedral. Fire scars the cinnamon bark but the trees need fire to open their cones. The groves smell of dust, vanilla, and last year’s needles.
