Those 70ish girls…Sequoia National Park

We have been at a KOA near the park for 2 days and will be staying another 2. We’re trying to reach the place that is going to be doing all the repairs on the RV to see if we can get it in before the 30th. It would sure be nice if we didn’t have to wait that long. Since we’ll be staying at a motel while the work is being done, we would like to get that part behind us.

We really enjoyed our full day at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. They are adjacent to each other, so that made it nice. We were able to see Sherman’s tree, which is the largest Sequoia. It’s at Sequoia NP, and Grant’s tree, which is the 2nd largest, is at King’s Canyon. There is also a tree at King’s Canyon, which is 3000 years old. It’s big, but not as big as the other 2 trees. These giant spectacles have all survived 100s of forest fires. They even have big burn scars.

Counting the coastal redwoods, we have seen a lot of magnificent trees in the past 2 weeks. It has been an awesome experience.
