Visiting Sequoia National Park wasn’t originally planned. Our last days of our trip were supposed to be a little bit more calm and relaxing. But the weather didn’t want us to enjoy the beaches of LA. Freezing cold and strong winds made our trip to LA really uncomfortable. Lucky we! So we came to see the largest trees in the world: the Giant Sequoias. The largest of these tree giants is “General Sherman” and he is so huge, you can fill a full bathtub every day into his trunk for over 27 Years untill he is finally full. “Giant Sequoias” are neither the tallest (Redwood Sequoia 115,5m high) nor the thickest (Árbol del Tule in Oaxaca, Mexico diameter of 11.62 m) trees, but in VOLUME they win.
Entrance to the Park: “The four Guardsmen”:

The largest Tree on Earth: “General Sherman”
Nearly forgot: As in most National Parks, there are wild animals around. Sequoia has lots of wildlife, but the most exciting animal to see there is one of the brown bears. And we saw two of them :) First a very young one and later the day a full grown bear:
