Inside Yosemite

Fire-blackened pine
The park has eight species of pine, including one that sheds its bark

In the background is a tree known as Big Red, one of the Giant Sequoias for which Yosemite is famous

Close-up of Big Red, thought to be 800 years old, showing how much thicker the trunk is when compared with pines

Standing inside a Giant Sequoia called Dead Giant

A seasonal beach beside the Merced River - every spring the beach disappears under snow-melt
