Sequoia means forever green. California is the only place in the world that hosts these huge trees each of which lives thousands of years. The park has 800miles of registered trails - it takes forever to explore the whole thing.
This guy is general Sherman and he is the biggest living thing in the world. It's not the tallest tree nor has the biggest diameter, but consists of 6,000 tons of wood! It's just ridiculus.
The park has some points located quite high 8,000-9,000 feet maybe. This is a nice view as the clouds move over the forest, and I had to climb 400 feet on huge rock to get there - I've never felt more height-scared-to-death before in my life.
