The Sequoia National Forest The drive to the Sequioa National Forest will take you through a gorgeous mountainous landscape with winding roads and breathtaking scenery. There are often opportunities to stop and take pictures. There are also quite a few deer crossing the roads so caution is advised while driving through the area. The fee to enter the forest was 20 dollars (July 2008) and that covered a 1-7 day vehicle permit for the park. There are signs to direct to the entry gate at the main parking lot. Already the trees here are incredibly tall. From here you will follow the General Grant Tree Trail by foot, which takes 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. All through the forest, curious chipmunks are scurrying along the ground. They make cute sounds while communicating to each other. Quite often they pass your path so it is easy to get pictures of them. ........................................................................ ........................................................................  More Pictures:  Antelope Canyons Near Page, Arizona  Bad Segeberg, Germany  Berlin, Germany  Christmas in North Germany  Death Valley National Park in California  Florida  Grand Canyon  Hamburg, Germany  Heligoland (Helgoland), Germany  Holsten Gate in Lübeck, Germany  Horseshoe Bend, Arizona  Kiel Week Sailing Festival in Germany  Las Vegas Hotels and Attractions  London, England  Lübeck, Germany  Mallorca  Mammoth Caves, Kentucky  Meteor Crater near Flagstaff, Arizona  Nashville, Tennessee  New York City  Niagara Falls in New York  Pacific Coast Highway in California  Palma de Mallorca  Rock City in Chattanooga, Tennessee  Route 66 in Arizona  Ruby Falls in Chattanooga, Tennessee  Sand World 2007 in Travemünde, Germany  San Francisco, California  Schleswig-Holstein, Germany  Schwerin, Germany  Sequoia National Forest  Yosemite National Park ........................................................................    More information:  Sequoia National Forest  General Sherman Tree  General Grant Tree and Grant Grove All pictures and text found on Canyonsandmore.com are property of this website.
