More Hiking in Sequoia National Park

Alyssa and I went to Sequoia National Park and saw some of the largest trees in the world.

This was inside a fallen sequoia. The trunks are usually hollowed out due to fires, so in this case it made a tunnel.




On the hike up to Moro Rock. It's at 6700 feet and offers clear 360 views of the park. The road to it was closed due to snow, but we could walk the way instead.






General Sherman is the largest tree in the world by volume. It's about 2000 years old and its base is 40 feet in diameter. It was a monster, and totally dwarfed the other sequoias around it.



There were plenty of other gems in the park, right off the side of the road.
