This towering sequoia tree is the second-largest sequoia on the planet, and it is also the namesake tree of a small but beautiful grove of sequoias. The short loop that visits the tree and its attendant historical and arboreal highlights is easy enough for everybody, even toddlers. Fun fact: the General Grant Tree is the “nation’s Christmas tree,” and the park has held a ceremony at the base of the tree since President Calvin Coolidge formalized the tree’s honorary distinction in 1926.
