Big Trees Trail

On our last day here, we went to the Giant Forest Museum and saw the General Sherman Tree.  The General Sherman Tree is a Giant Sequoia and is the largest tree in the world by wood volume (not height).  It weighs about 10 blue whales and about the length of a football field. It's believed to be about 2,300 to 2,700 years old.  It's amazing how something so large like that came from a humble little seed.
 Here's me and mommy walking along the path.
 
 Here's one of the "smaller' trees.

This is me in 2008 sitting in the same rock area. 
 Here's my "I'm not so sure about this tree trunk" look.

It's beautiful here.  Come visit.
