These three sequoias are part of perhaps 5,000 of the Big Trees found within the boundaries of Mountain Home. Relatively few people visit this portion of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, east of the San Joaquin town of Porterville.

These trees - sequoia giganteum - can live for more than 2,000 years and reach heights of 200 feet and more. (They are a separate species but in the same family as their redwood cousins - sequoia sempervirens - on the coast of California.)
