Giant Cypress Trees at Congaree National Park

One of the greatest features of Congaree National Park in South Carolina is the wonderful long boardwalk. It goes for miles but is crucial to be able to get out over the flooded forest and see the huge trees that are growing there untouched for hundreds of years. Here is a giant Cypress tree that is probably 6 feet across at the base. There were many more even larger with their knees sticking up through the water.
