I was looking through some old vacation pictures and came across this one. It sure gives a perspective on how big these trees are.

    Ok, yes pedantically. “An official sign posted at the General Sherman Tree measures the tree in baths. The sign was made by national park officials, posted by national park officials, and is maintained by the official national park service. Though the national park office made this measurement and posted it, it is not an official measurement of said tree. That should only be done in cubic feet and/or meters.”

    I’ve since fixed my comment specifically for your enjoyment

    Edit: forgot Sequoia was a national park. Different office, still official
