General Sherman Tree, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park

Great little hike for Saturday morning. Biggest tree in the world, not the tallest. It is definitely BIG huge. He hike was capped off with, what seemed to be a younger bear just strolling by. Not caring about anyone. It's a paved trail, so really easy to navigate. If you do this, keep going on the Congress Trail. There are some great trees there too.

So. The walk to the giant tree is paved. Would be difficult for someone that's in a wheelchair or having help to walk. The distance is roughly a little less than a mile. Overall this is a beautiful place. Great place to bring your kids. Let them run around and blow of all that energy. So the drive home will be quiet and relaxing.

Great place to visit. You never know what's just miles away if you don't get out to start your adventure. It was beautiful with the new season snow. History is in front of us!! Pictures by Me!!!

What an amazing experience! I had to hug the largest tree in the world and so should you 😍 the hike was not that bad with resting spots in between. Make sure to pack out what you pack in and stay the trail! Absolutely recommend!

The General Sherman Tree itself was pretty spectacular. It was a 1/2 mile hike down to the actual tree but there is a overlook about halfway down. Walking back up there was an incline but the paved trail offers multiple places to stop and rest. We entered via the Ash mountain entrance which goes up to over 6000ft in elevation and has multiple sharp switchbacks while driving. The view was spectacular and offers many turnouts to view the valley. If you have a fear of drop offs I would not recommend this way to enter the park.
