Visiting Pando

Pando is a large group of aspen trees in Utah near Fishlake National Forest. However, they aren’t many trees, but just one tree that has cloned itself over time to cover many acres of land, so it’s more accurate to say it’s just one tree.

In fact, it’s the world’s largest living organism. It’s just one. A giant clone.

So naturally, we all had to hug the same tree, but hugging different ones.
