Today we covered a little more area in Sequoia and made the 25 mile extra drive to tour Kings Canyon.

I thought we would have more time to do the “Big Trees Trail” again today, but the weather didn’t agree with me. So here is a picture I left out yesterday thinking I would get better ones today.

The tree in the background between Trevor and Bill is the General Sherman Tree. It is the largest living tree on the planet, measured in total wood volume of the trunk. (The tree is neither the tallest, widest nor oldest)

On this vacation, the boys have taught me that throwing rocks in to a body of water is the epitome of relaxation and fun.

There is a beautiful waterfall behind all these giant rocks, but you have to boulder hop to get there – not for toddlers!

Moro rock decided that it would hide today

It got foggier as the day went on, and the temperature dropped to the low 40’s!

We visited the General Grant tree, originally thought to be the largest until the trees were accurately measured. 🙂

Another kind of tunnel log – you could walk through the length of the fallen hollow tree. It was very crowded though.

We warmed up in the restaurant and hit the road. Down at “base camp” by the river, it was 70 degrees. We threw more rocks in the water and got some tired boys to bed!
