The Giant Sequoias
Located in the Southeastern Sierra Nevadas in California, the Giant Redwoods are a true site to behold. Nothing can really prepare you for how big the trees actually are; you think you've seen big trees, you think it's really nothing. You've seen them in pictures, after all. But nothing can really prep you adequately to see a tree that is larger than a 747 Jumbo Jet. How much larger? a 747 weighs 178 metric tons. The General Sherman – the earth's largest living thing – weighs 2100 metric tons, about 12x the size.
These galleries will be rotated periodically, so keep an eye out for changes. Click the thumbnails for larger versions. You can then just use the arrow keys to jump to the next image!
