Wawona Tree, Sequoia in Mariposa Grove, California, US.
The giant sequoia rises 71.3 meters into the sky and measures 7.9 meters in diameter within Yosemite National Park's protected forest.
Native American tribes of central California named this ancient tree Wawona, establishing its presence in the region's recorded history over a millennium ago.
The sequoia stands as a testament to environmental conservation efforts in the United States, influencing policies to protect natural heritage sites.
Visitors access the tree through Mariposa Grove Welcome Plaza, with seasonal shuttle services operating during high-traffic periods from spring through fall.
The tree has adapted to survive multiple forest fires, which actually aid sequoia reproduction by clearing the forest floor and releasing seeds.
