United States California Sequoia National Park

The Congress Trail

A scenic hiking trail amidst towering ancient trees, featuring clusters named after political assemblies and a walk through a magnificent forest.

Tips from the community

Hike the 3-mile Congress Trail loop, one of the best hikes in Sequoia National Park. This hike is great year-round; in the summer pack your sneakers and in the winter strap on your snowshoes. The trail is paved and awards hikers with site of many old-growth Giant Sequoias including General Sherman, the House of Senate groups, and the President Tree.
