Calavaras Big Trees

 We went to the Calavaras Big Trees National Park while in CA. It was incredible to see how big the trees grow. The bear below was carved from one tree just using an electric saw.



 This is a stump from the biggest tree at the park. When it was first discovered they cut it down so they could take it to fairs to show people. A lot of people became angry and turned the area into a national park. The stump used to have dances and people would bowl on top of it.

This is a root of a big tree that fell over.



In the 1800's carriages would go through this tree.
