点评:This is one of the most incredible and impressive trees in the world. It stands as the second largest tree, only 150 cubic meters less than the Sherman tree; however, its popularity is far less than the Sherman tree. When we had the opportunity to visit Grant Grove, this tree seemed incredibly massive, both wide and tall. I had visited the Sherman tree 3 times before including once earlier that day, and I was surprised to learn that the Sherman is taller but the Grant is wider at the bottom. Grant Grove, which holds several impressive trees, appears to be dominated by this tree directly in its center.
In many ways, the Grant tree is as impressive to see in person as the Sherman. However, both the Grant tree and grove see a fraction of the guest who visit the Sherman and the Giant Forest. While I fully realize the draw to see the largest living organism, this is an equally impressive and humbling grove to visit.
翻译:这是世界上最令人惊叹、最令人印象深刻的树木之一。它是第二大的树,仅比谢尔曼树少150立方米;然而,它的受欢迎程度远不及谢尔曼树。当我们有机会参观格兰特树林时,这棵树显得格外巨大,既宽阔又高大。我之前已经三次参观过谢尔曼树,包括当天早些时候的一次,我很惊讶地发现谢尔曼树更高,但格兰特树的底部更宽。格兰特树林里有几棵令人印象深刻的树木,而这棵树似乎正位于树林的中心。
从很多方面来看,格兰特树和谢尔曼树一样令人印象深刻。然而,格兰特树和树林的游客数量都只是谢尔曼树和巨木森林的一小部分。虽然我完全理解参观最大的生物的吸引力,但参观格兰特树林同样令人印象深刻,也同样令人谦卑。
