Some 10 - 15 minutes of walk from the parking. Paved track with a loop at the end and the same way back. Good to see!

A must see! Biggest tree in the world by volume! 1385 tons of wood, about 90 meters high (270 feet) and approximately 2200 years old. Never go over the balustrade which circumferences it as you might hurt the sequoia's roots which are just bellow the surface.
