Kings Canyon - Big Stump Trail

Our last day and we do the Big Stump Trail on the way out

There are some big not stumps here too

 Our first big stump

 and another

 Part of the Trail is the Shattered Giant

Mark Twain Stump coming up

 and it's a big one!

 All that remains of the 26-foot-wide, 1,700-year-old tree that took 2 men 13 days to cut down in 1891. It was cut down for the American Museum of Natural History in NYC as a display for the size of the Sequoias

 Looking down at Gary gives a little more perspective

The site of the Smith Comstock Lumber Mill which split the timber into fence posts and stakes to be used for vineyards and farm.

 Thanks Jesse

But I don't want to leave!!
