Sequoia National Park, California

Sequoia National Park

I am a fan of the national parks. Parks are well visited and they have a lot to offer. I find it very interesting and educational.  Among the many national parks in the states Sequoia National park is unique. It's known for its huge Sequoia trees, notably The General Sherman Tree dominating the Giant Forest.

If you are in Los Angeles, this could be a day trip. If this is the case leave early as there is so many things you could do in the park. The road to there is hilly and one way up and one way down. Expect slow moving traffic. 

General Sherman is one of the oldest trees in the world. It is visited by many and also by school children as day trips. These trees are so huge that when you stand under one and look up, it feels like eternity. It was a small hike to get there which was very nice.

The cross sectional view shows the age of these trees and it is very tall and you clearly see the size of these trees.

There are various hikes that can be done here. There is camping and cabin rentals too. There is a restaurant in the main area where you could buy a sandwich for your hike. How nice is that. The information for most of these things can be found at the entrance to the park or online.
