General Grant Sequoia

General Grant Sequoia
While in California recently we spent a day at King's Canyon National Park and several days in Sequoia National Park. Though many trails and areas of the park were still closed on account of snow we were able to see the Sequoias which my wife had never seen and I only once as a young child. One of the short trails we were able to take took us to the General Grant tree, the world's third largest tree by volume. It is 40 feet (12 m) in diameter at the base, 268 feet (82 m) in height, weighs 1254 tons and is 1700 years old which means it starrted growing during the reign of the Emperor Constantine.
