Sentinel Dome is a favorite hike from the Glacier Point Road. These old trees died many years ago, probably due to lack of water. They were growing out of solid granite, with their roots barely finding traction in cracks in the rock. They are all Jeffrey Pines (easy to tell from small remnants of bark still on the trunks). I have hiked there often over the course of 20 or more years, always expecting them to fall, but their roots amazingly still hold on, long since dead, against winter storms of wind and snow and critters. With a closer examination of these trees , one will find perfect round holes that are pecked out and used as homes for families of wood peckers.
