Hike #46 - General Sherman Tree and Congress Trail - Sequoia National Park, California

This popular trail in Sequoia National park, leads to the largest tree by volume in the world.  Named after General Sherman from the Civil War, the tree is estimated to be 2200 years old and 275' tall, 36' across at the base.  The trail is paved and 1 mile out and back with an elevation gain of only 200'.  We continued from there to the Congress Trail to see many more impressive giant Sequoia trees.
