When you enter Yosemite from highway 41, you can turn left towards the valley, and go where everybody else is headed, or turn right, to the end of the road in about 2 miles, then take a mile long hike to the biggest tree you will ever see. It is 33' in diameter. That makes it about 100' around the parameter of the tree. The lowest branch at 105' in the air is larger at the tree trunk (in diameter) than any tree east of the Mississippi. Think of a branch that is a couple feet in diameter, going sideways out from the tree trunk!
And there is still a living walk through tree in the same grove, though the drive through tree fell over in the 60's.
