Seqouia National Park

Sunday morning found us driving down highway 99 toward Visalia and Sequoia National Park. We found an adequate RV park in Three Rivers about six miles from the south entrance to the park. On Monday morning we got an early start for our tour of the park and had our breakfast waiting for our turn to be escorted through a construction zone. I did get a couple of photos while we were waiting.

Our first visit was at Crescent Meadow. We drove through a Sequoia tree to get there.

Driving back to the main highway we spotted a rather large Sequoia.

Then we continued on to the General Sherman Tree. This is the largest tree in the world and is about 2,200 years old.

After a nice picnic lunch we headed for Kings Canyon. This was a new experience as we had never been there before. It is amazing.

Our last stop was at the General Grant Tree. It too is amazing.

We thought we were taking the fast way home by going outside the park but it turned out to be thirty miles of windy road.
