Nestled in the heart of a historic grove of California giant Sequoia trees, the General Grant tree, in the Sierra Nevada mountains in Kings Canyon National Park—about one hour east of Fresno—stands tall as one of the world’s oldest and largest living things.
The tree is estimated to be more than 2,000 years old and towers above the forest at 268 feet. It is the second-largest tree in the world at just over 46,000 cubic feet, according to the National Parks Service.
