Mariposa Grove is a grove of giant sequoias located near Wawona in the southwestern part of Yosemite National Park. It is the largest grove of sequoias in Yosemite, housing more than 500 mature sequoias. Among them, the most emblematic is the Grizzly Giant, about 2000 years old. Standing at 63 meters tall, it is not the tallest or the most voluminous, but it is one of the most spectacular. The grove was redesigned and only reopened in 2018.

Upon entering the park, you will be able to admire the Fallen Monarch, a very large specimen that fell over 300 years ago and whose impressive roots can still be admired.
