General Sherman and Moro Rock

Sequoia National Park. Stand under General Sherman, the biggest tree on Earth, then climb Moro Rock.

Start early and walk the path down to General Sherman, the largest living tree on Earth, before the crowds arrive. Each guess how old it is before you read the sign, and closest wins. The photo to get: you at the base looking tiny against the trunk. Then head over to Moro Rock and climb the carved stone steps to the top of the granite dome for a huge view over the mountains.
