The Sequioa National Forest

The fee to enter the forest was 20 dollars (July 2008) and that covered a 1-7 day vehicle permit for the park. You will be directed from the entry gate to the main parking lot. From there you will follow the General Grant Tree Trail by foot, which will take you around the area where you will find the famous trees such as the General Grand and the General Sherman. Each tree in the park has a name and a history. The General Sherman tree is one of the tallest Sequioa trees in the world and is the world’s largest living thing. The General Grant Tree is the world’s third largest living thing and has the greatest base diameter of any sequoia. It is also known as the “Nation’s Christmas Tree”. You can walk inside a fallen tree to get a feeling of just how huge a tree can be. It is like walking through a tunnel and you can even stand upright in such a tree.
