We Walked Beneath the Largest Trees on Earth in Sequoia National Park

Join us as we explore the General Sherman Tree Trail and Congress Trail in Sequoia National Park, California! This incredible hike takes you into the heart of the Giant Forest, home to the largest unlogged giant sequoia grove in the world and more than 8,000 sequoia trees. We start at the famous General Sherman Tree, the largest tree on Earth by volume, before continuing onto the Congress Trail, a beautiful 2.7-mile paved loop that takes you deeper into one of the most breathtaking forests in the world. Along the way, we see some of the most iconic sights on the trail, including the Tough Twins, President Tree, Chief Sequoyah, the Senate Group, House Group, McKinley Tree, Room Tree, Founders Group, Cattle Cabin, and even a tunnel tree. We also share tips for visiting, including parking, shuttle options, crowds, elevation, and what to expect on the hike back up to the General Sherman parking lot. If you are planning a trip to Sequoia National Park, this is one of the best hikes to add to your itinerary, especially if you want to experience the Giant Forest beyond just the General Sherman Tree.
