This photograph captures the Massachusetts Tree, a giant fallen sequoia in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite Park, from 1935. The log is featured prominently in the foreground, with a wooden staircase constructed over it, leading to a pathway that continues into the forest. Tall trees dominate the background, giving a majestic and serene look to the natural landscape.Mariposa Grove is home to some of the largest and oldest sequoias in the world. The Massachusetts Tree, named after the state due to its significant size, fell in 1927 and has since become a notable landmark within the grove. During this period, visiting national parks was becoming a popular leisure activity, and sites like this would have been significant draws for tourists.Text on a sign next to the tree reads: “Massachusetts, Fell in 1927, Height 300, Diameter 21.” This signage provides essential information about the tree’s impressive dimensions and its fall date. There are no identifiable people or known names associated with this specific photo.
