 A trip to Sequoia National Park is not complete until you've seen the General Sherman. It's the world's largest living tree and truly a sight to be seen. Hiking down the Sherman Tree Trail gives you perspective into the tree's sure magnitude, as you descend signs indicate how close you're getting to the base. Halfway down the trail the tree becomes completely visible for the first time and more placards and information are displayed that are definitely worth reading. The general isn't the only impressive sight in this short loop, there are numerous Sequoias that will leave you humbled in their presence! Be sure to bring the camera!

Sherman Tree Trail - Sequoia NP
first day in the park and it wasn't crowded yet, so we decided to make a long loop in the giant forest. started at the sherman tree, and had it nearly to ourselves. sierra was definitely mind blown.
did a nice loop on congress, trail of the sequoias and log meadow/crescent meadow loops. with tons of wildflowers (lupine) and fern with magnificent forest smells all day. warm but not unbearable. hard to find a more pleasant walk in the woods. huge sequoias everywhere. also checked out round meadow. we saw a couple goofy marmots. aside from the areas near sherman and the crescent/log trailheads, we saw almost nobody at all. amazing
