Enjoy a nice walk through the Giant Forest while we walk down a paved trail to the world’s largest tree, the General Sherman Tree. From there we will walk deeper into the Giant Forest. Along the way we will learn about the wildlife and plants that call this forest their home. Keep a watchful eye for a chance to see some of them in real life. If we are lucky we might even stumble into a black bear or two!

We will meet at the Trailhead for the Sherman Tree Trail which is conveniently located next to the restrooms and shuttle stop at the Upper Sherman Parking Lot. This is where our tour will end as well.

Leading you on this three hour hike is a professional tour guide who has lived in and worked in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks since 2014. With a degree in wildlife biology and a past career of chasing black bears out of campgrounds. You will not only have access to over six years of tour guiding and astronomy knowledge but also a wide range of facts, stories, theories and jokes. Mostly puns :)

On this tour you are guaranteed to see sequoia trees, birds, squirrels, chipmunks, amazing views and more. Black bears and mule deer are on random occurrences. Joining me for multiple tours will not increase your chances but its worth a shot.
