#### One of the world’s largest trees rises from the heart of a flat and accessible trail meandering through one of the biggest sequoia groves on the planet. 

The Big Trees Trail is a scenic route running between the giant redwoods of Sequoia National Park. Well-paved and fairly level, the trail is the perfect setting for a tranquil and accessible hike and is also open to wheelchair use. Stretch your neck muscles to gaze up at some of the tallest living specimens on the planet.

Embark on the 1.4-mile (2.3-kilometer) loop with your family or friends and enjoy the absolute serenity within the Giant Forest district. Admire the various openings to the lush green meadows that serve as a perfect viewing platform for the surrounding trees. For a special treat, bring a blanket and set up a picnic on these open spaces.

As you make your way around the trail, stop to read the various display panels for information about the trees’ history. Arrive at the General Sherman Tree, which is by volume the largest tree in the world. It is thought to be about 2,200 years old, with a height of 275 feet (84 meters). See the Ed by Ned pair of trees that have actually fused together at the base.

The visitor center at the Giant Forest Museum offers insight into the ecology of the giant sequoias. Chat with rangers about activities and other interpretive trails in the area.

Pay the national park entrance fee, upon arriving at the park. The site is open 24 hours per day year round, although certain roads may close in extreme weather.

Find the Big Trees Trail in the heart of the Giant Forest area, in Sequoia National Park. Rent a car and drive east from Fresno for 80 miles (130 kilometers) to arrive here in about 2 hours. You can leave your car in the parking lot of the Giant Forest Museum.

While in this zone, ensure you see other surrounding attractions such as the President Tree, Crystal Cave and Tharp’s Log.
