We went camping at Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park in November. The trees were fantastic. Redwoods are the tallest, Sequoias are the biggest, and bristlecone pines are the oldest. All within about 3 hour drive of our house. How lucky is that?!



We are standing at the base of the largest single living organism, the General Sherman tree at 271 feet tall 55,000+ cubic yards of volume and 1200+ tons. Not the tallest, but the largest tree overall. A larger view of the tree gives you perspective. Note the 3.5' fence posts at the base of this tree.
