Enchanting Vintage Pictures Show National Parks When They Were Young: National Geographic

Sequoia Tree, Yosemite, 1920
A man stands inside the Wawona Tree, a giant sequoia in Yosemite National Park’s Mariposa Grove. Cut in 1881, the tree’s tunnel attracted thousands of tourists wanting to pass beneath it in their vehicles. Weight from fallen snow caused the tree to collapse in 1969.

Glacier Point, Yosemite, Circa 1902
A couple braves the edge of Overhanging Rock at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. Hanging 3,000 feet (914 meters) above the ground, the rock is a favorite site for photographs and for visitors seeking a spectacular view of the Yosemite Valley.
