General Sherman Tree Trailhead

Generals Hwy, California 93262 USA

Independent

The General Sherman Tree is the world's largest tree, measured by volume. It stands 275 feet (83 m) tall, and is over 36 feet (11 m) in diameter at the base. Two trails lead to the Sherman Tree. Parking for the Main Trail is off the Wolverton Road (between the Sherman Tree and Lodgepole); just follow signs. The trail runs half a mile (0.8 km) down to the tree. It has a few stairs and is paved. As you walk, you'll enter the Giant Forest sequoia grove. Exhibits along the trail explain the natural history of giant sequoias. The walk back is uphill.

Awesome scenery and although the general Sherman tree is huge, go and do the congress trail which has a number of other trees of similar size. If doing the trail it’s about a 5.6km walk in total.
