Mariposa Grove is a sequoia grove located near Wawona, California, USA,
in the southernmost part of Yosemite National Park. It is the largest grove of Giant Sequoias in the park, with several hundred mature examples of the tree. Two of its trees are among the 25 largest Giant Sequoias in the world.
I noticed that this video was getting way more hits (like thousands more) than any of the other videos I have on YouTube. Thanks to the Insight tools YouTube provides, I was able to figure out why quite easily.

The insight tools are accessible underneath each video, and are an easy way to check stats about viewers. I was pleased to discover that the video had been embedded on the National Park Reservations and Yosemite Blog sites.

As Yosemite is such a hugely popular destination, these websites (particularly the former) have many visitors and as a consequence, my video is getting a lot of additional hits.

Yosemite is a beautiful and awesome place and it was on my bucket list to go visit. Happily, I got to spend a few days there in June 2009 on a road trip around California, and it was more astonishing than I had ever imagined.
A fantastic old film by the National Park Service:
