Itinerary and highlights
Sequoia National Park, in California's Sierra Nevada, protects groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest trees by volume, including the famous General Sherman Tree, while also featuring Mount Whitney (tallest in the contiguous U.S.), granite canyons, caves, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife, offering hiking and nature exploration in a spectacular mountainous landscape
The General Sherman Tree is the world's largest tree by volume, a giant sequoia in California's Sequoia National Park, standing about 275 feet tall with a massive trunk over 36 feet wide, estimated to be 2,200-2,700 years old, and weighs millions of pounds, a truly colossal living monument showcasing nature's immense scale and resilience
The Moro Rock Trail in Sequoia National Park is a short but steep climb up a massive granite dome via a 350+ step stone and concrete staircase, offering spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada, the Great Western Divide, and the San Joaquin Valley from its summit
Car tunnel carved in 1938 out of the trunk of a sequoia that fell over the road in 1937
The granite boulder created a tunnel over the Generals Highway until the road was rerouted.
