The General Sherman Tree at Sequoia National Park is the largest tree in the world by volume, calculated to be over 52,500 cubic feet, while also being one of the tallest, widest and oldest living trees on Earth! Sequoia Shuttle’s Lower Sherman Tree stop will take you the closest to the tree, but it can also be accessed by the General Sherman Tree Trail and the Big Trees Trail. || Route 1, Green Route, Lower Sherman Tree Stop
While short, this 0.5-mile trail is no light stroll, as visitors will need to venture up more than 300 stone steps to reach the top of Moro Rock. The trek is well worth the work, as the view of the Great Western Divide to the west and the Generals Highway to the south will take your breath away. || Route 2, Grey Route, Moro Rock Stop

Named after the area’s first non-Native American resident, Hale Tharp, Tharp’s Log is the park’s oldest cabin, dating back to the 1860s. This fallen tree was originally hollowed out by fire, but Tharp transformed it into his summer home by building a cabin extension with a fireplace, a door, and a window at the wider end. || Route 2, Grey Route, Crescent Meadow Stop
Congress Trail is a relaxed two-mile loop, perfect for beginner hikers and families with small children.
