Here is a paved route through Sequoia National Park's giant trees, passing famous specimens such as the General Sherman Tree. The only paved path among the trees makes it simple to follow. Highlights include the Lincoln Tree, the world's fourth largest by volume, with a large scar you can stand within, and the south end's peaceful scenery.
