Congress Trail and General Sherman Tree

Jul 24, 2019 16:13

I went back to Sequoia yesterday and hiked to the General Sherman Tree, and then did part of the Congress Trail loop. I guess it was about a 2 mile hike.

I'm only putting a few photos behind the cut this time, and I have labeled what they are.

Those trees are so beautiful and majestic. Even without the people in the pictures, you can see how much they dwarf the other trees around them. Thanks for sharing your photos.

It is an almost spiritual experience. I will never tire of walking among these giants.

I think I already mentioned that I love sequoias and you are lucky to be able to go hiking there. I was pretty sure that we'd gone to the General Sherman tree, but I don't remember all the other named trees, so perhaps not? Or maybe we didn't have a lot of time and visited just that one main tree? I can't recall - it's been at least 15-20 years, maybe a bit longer - but we definitely went to some of the groves of giant trees and we always love it there.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I love the opportunity to live vicariously through you.

The Congress trail is an additional trail that takes off from the Sherman trail. I was purposely trying to walk on it. Most people only go to the Sherman tree. That may be why you don't remember the other named trees.

I'm so happy you are enjoying these! I worry people will get tired of it. :)
