It has a base diameter of 36 feet and weighs as much as 400 elephants. Estimated to be between 2,300 and 2,700 years old, General Sherman can be dated back to the Roman Empire. The hike to the tree in Sequoia National Park is just a half mile from the nearest parking lot, making it the star attraction of the park. | Active NorCal | Facebook
