But if you had not been told that it is the biggest tree in the world, you wouldn't have known that. All of the Giant Sequoias seem equally large and impressive and they make you feel very small. They are so big that without a wide-angle lens you would not be able to have a whole tree on one picture. And even with this lens, it is difficult to appreciate their grandeur solely based on photos.
The Sherman Tree lies along the Congress trail, which is a 2 mile long paved trail that leads to several famous sequoias such as the House and Senate Groups, the President, Chief Sequoyah, General Lee and McKinley Trees. Some of them you can see at the photos below.
