I did not get to see any giant Sequoia trees during my recent visit to California, but I thought these big Redwood and Pine along the path to Lower Yosemite Falls were quite impressive.

Those aren't redwoods.

It's my understanding that there was a lot of "artificial" activity going on until as recent as about 20 years ago.
For example, all those great vistas around the valley were created by trimming back trees that might block the view. And didn't they used to dredge Mirror lake to keep it a lake? I'm sure there are several on this board who know more about the current policies than I, but I recall hearing a ranger say that they aren't doing that anymore. Or at least, less of it. And, instead, letting nature do its thing.

In many ways, it is no different than Disneyland.

That is kind of artificial of them to plant a sequoia there when it doesn't naturally grow there.

Speaking of unatural things supported by the Park service, how about the rock dam maintained by the Park service that keeps Nevada falls from it's natural course. Does the Park service still maintain this?

To my knowledge, the “California Redwood” only naturally occurs in a narrow coastal band of forest areas from about Monterey California, up into southern Oregon - and that’s it.
