Mariposa Grove is a sequoia large tree grove located near Wawona, California, in the southern most section of Yosemite National Park, at 37°31′N 119°36′W by 37°31′N 119°36′W. It is the largest grove of Giant Sequoia trees in the park, with several hundred huge mature examples of the tall and wide tree. Two of Mariposa Grove's famous trees are among the 25 largest Giant Sequoias in the world.
The Mariposa Grove was first visited by non-native white men in 1857 when Galen Clark and Milton Mann found the grove. They named the grove after the local Mariposa County, California, where the grove resides near the entrance.
The Mariposa Grove Giant Sequoia named Grizzly Giant is between around 1900-2400 years old: the oldest tree in the grove. In 1932, it was claimed to be the fifth largest tree by volume in the world, but other trees were subsequently found to be even larger; it currently has a volume of 34,010 cubic feet, only the 25th largest. It is 210 feet tall, and has a heavily buttressed base with a basal circumference of 92 ft or a diameter of 30 feet. Grizzly Giant's first branch from its base is itself 6 ft in diameter.
