Thanks to a short trail in the Grant Grove area, you will find yourself in front of the General Grant Tree, the only redwood that can compete with the General Sherman in Sequoia Park. Almost 1700 years old, this giant is among the largest trees on the planet, a record that logically attracts most visitors.
The paved path leading to the General is a third of a mile long, and it will take you less than an hour to do so, bearing in mind that you must take some time to explore the Fallen Monarch, a huge tree that has fallen to the ground and is now "visitable" inside. The trail is well signposted, right in front of a parking lot located one mile northwest of Kings Canyon Visitor Center, after the first fork in the road.
