The General Sherman Tree is the largest tree in the world – by volume, not height (Redwood trees are taller). This is one chunky piece of wood! The newly built, meandering, paved path takes you through to the General Sherman and other beautiful sequoia trees in the Giant Forest area. Truth be told, I’m not sure if we actually did the short Congress Trail hike (signs in this NP are wanting), but it didn’t matter.

Tips:

This is not quite the hike to go on if you want to get away from it all! Most visitors to the park make this a stopping place – but for good reason. This area is a definite “don’t miss.”
