This tree is really huge, with a trunk diameter of 36.5 ft and a height of 274.9 ft. Its enourmous trunk volume makes it the "largest known living single stem tree on earth"(where else?), or easier, the largest tree.
A quite unique location, and of course worth a visit.

Admission to the tree is free, but there is a charge for entering the National Park.

Price of Admission: 0.00 (listed in local currency)
