Hikers can walk through a tunnel carved into the trunk of a fallen sequoia near the start of the Sherman Tree Trail, close to the restrooms on the west side of the trail. To avoid crowded trails, it's best to visit early or late in the day. Along the path, informative signs offer insights into the lives of these ancient trees, surrounded by towering sequoias.
