Two Giant Sequoia trees that fell in September at the Trail of 100 Giants grove. The public was invited to view the trees on October 22, 2011 and provide input regarding the future of the trail the trees fell onto. The two trees had grown together at the base, and the tree diameter was approximately 17 feet, with a height of 300 feet. The trees in this grove are approximately 1500 years old.
A handful of visitors to the park actually witnessed the trees falling, and some tourists from Germany were able to shoot a few seconds of video as the trees fell, which can also be found on RU-vid.
