From Zion, we stopped outside Sequoia National Park for a night and spent the following morning playing in the Giant Sequoia forest in the park, which is only a small part of the very large Sequoia National Park / Kings Canyon National Park complex.

The forest is exactly what you’d expect, yet unbelievable as you sit under trees that have the girth of a tank and tower hundreds of feet.

We saw the General Sherman, which is the “biggest” tree in the world. It’s not the tallest, we saw others that were taller in close proximity, but is biggest because of its circumference and height combined.

As a side note and plug for a Web application I built a few years ago for an old employer, American Forests lists the biggest trees in the country, including the General Sherman.
