Sequoia National Park: Land of the Giants
Sequoia National Park is home to some of the world's most awe-inspiring natural wonders, the giant seqioua trees. These ancient giants, with their massive trunks and towering heights, create a breathtaking landscape that feels like stepping into another world.
General Sherman - The Nation's Christmas Tree
At the heart of Sequoia National Park stands the iconic General Sherman Tree, the largest living tree by volume. Walking among these trees was a humbling experience, as they have witnessed centuries of history and continue to thrive in the forest's unique ecosystem.
Moro Rock
In addition to its famous sequoias, the park offers diverse landscapes, from sweeping mountain views to peaceful meadows and winding rivers. Moro Rock is a must-see for panoramic vistas of the Great Western Divide. The views at Moro Rock include glacially carved peaks, the tops of giant trees, chaparral-covered hillsides, and the Great Central Valley to the west. The views are constantly changing - natural processes transform the landscape and people shape the view as they make changes in the park and surrounding areas.
On a clear day, you can look east to alpine peaks and west to the Coast Range - a distance of over 150 miles. From the top, 6,725 feet, you stand more than a mile higher than the lowest point you can see to the west - and a mile lower than the peaks to the east. The climb up Moro Rock is a 350-step staircase and can take from 30-60 minutes.
