The Giant Forest, California

The Giant Forest, located in the heart of Sequoia National Park, is home to half of the world's biggest (and oldest) trees. Here dwell around 8,000 massive sequoia trees, including the world's biggest tree by volume, the General Sherman Tree. General Sherman is the tallest living object on the globe (275 feet tall) at the age of 2,100 years and weighing roughly 2.7 million pounds, making him the treasure of Sequoia National Park.

This forest, as the name implies, is home to one of the biggest and tallest tree species (the General Sherman tree). More than 8,000 massive sequoia trees proudly shelter a wide range of species. This stunning forest is perhaps the most visited attraction in Sequoia National Park, yet there is still enough to do here. Hiking or simply meandering through the Giant Forest on a Sunday will undoubtedly restore your batteries. Giant sequoias are among the planet's oldest living species. Some are over 3,200 years old!
