Many of the other ancient giant trees on the west coast have fences around to prevent climbing on the tree and this one does not. The only thing I would change is I would add a fence at the base of the tree. The tree is directly next to a large parking lot for a camp site so do not expect this to feel secluded even though you take a small trek through woods to get here. There is something magical about being under a 1000 foot tree. The size isn't adequately expressed in pictures you have to see it for yourself. There is plenty of parking at the trailhead, the walk down was pleasant and quick, and the tree itself was incredible.
This is a quick visit with a great payoff.
