Fallen Giant Sequoia Tree - Tuolumne Grove Yosemite
The gnarled roots of a fallen giant sequoia tree in the Tuolomne Grove in Yosemite National Park. The mighty Giant Sequoias which tower over 250 feet tall, have surprisingly shallow roots. This fallen tree, is large enough that it has a tunnel that can walk through from bottom to top. The roots photographed here are as tall as many regular trees.
The photo below may help you with the scale of the base of the fallen tree.
