After checking out the oldest trees in the world I figured I should go and see the largest. Unfortunately as I hadn’t planed any of the trip I was on the wrong side of the Sierra Nevada range and had a rather long day in the car as a result. This was not helped by my GPS unit which decided that there was a shorter route and would shave a few minutes off the trip. In the end I took the "short" route which took me through some nasty mountain pass with millions of hairpin corners and turned out to be a very long route. The next day I headed into Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park to check out the Sequoia trees.

To show the scale of these trees look at the tree that is laying over the road, see the hole in it, you can drive through that!
The General Sherman Tree - The largest tree in the world (by volume)
