Sequoia protects the largest trees on Earth by volume. General Sherman Tree stands 274.9 feet tall and is the largest known living tree on the planet. The park's Giant Forest contains 5 of the world's 10 largest trees. Walking among these ancient giants β some over 3,000 years old β is a humbling experience.

Best Time to Visit
May through September. Generals Highway (main road) may close in winter due to snow. July-August for best access to all areas. Spring brings beautiful wildflowers in the foothills.
π‘ Insider Tip
Three Rivers (3 miles from Ash Mountain entrance) is the main gateway with several hotels. Wuksachi Lodge inside the park (5,700 ft) is the most convenient stay. Visit on weekdays β weekends are extremely crowded.
