I spent a few hours in atlas grove, most were definitely smaller 3rd, 4th growth but once in a while you’d stumble across some monster that must have been 2nd

It’s so hard to capture the scale of these things in photography. I see so many people talk about making the journey to see these trees and theres absolutely nothing you can do to understand the scale if you haven’t been there yourself. My neck was sore for days after a 4-5 hour trek through the groves constantly looking up.
