Driving to Sequoia National Park

Lots of grape vines and orange trees and olive trees

Look at all the oranges on the ground

some great views along the way

Ken's manly pose...

Our campsite for the next few days. Right along a nice little river.

This area is the swimming hole, water is a tad cold.

Didn't expect to see a massive turkey on the side of the road, and there were a few

April 7th - a couple of hikes we took today

A few pictures on the drive up to see the big Sequoia trees. The road was so narrow and windy, you can see part of the road on the Nav Sys. There are lots of times when you could see the road ahead 3 levels higher up the mountain

This was a fairly easy hike, about a couple hours

This tree got so badly burnt but still has life up at the top

Maybe wasn't the smartest thing we did but after a bite to eat, we went on another hike

little more challenging, much longer, with more rocks and hurdles like snow, rocks, fallen trees to get around...

All to see this waterfall.

We were both hurting by the time we got back down to the bottom,

But we did get to see this little guy -->

The General Sherman Tree is the biggest

A few pics along the hike, it is so much more beautiful than the pictures can show

The middle pic with Ken and I is the Presidents Tree, another one of the biggest, the one right below that is the McKinley Tree, also one of the biggest.

Ken is standing in front of a group of trees called the House

Im in front of a group of trees called the Senate
