Sequoias.  The largest trees in the world.  In a national park that also has Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the lower 48.  Kings Canyon National Park.  The largest wilderness area in the lower 48.  Theses words do not express the majesty of the area nor the beauty we encountered.   No mere words can do these parks justice.

The giant sequoia called The Sentinal.  See Mark in the shadow?  Compare the tree to the flagpole!

Parker’s Grove of seven huge trees.

He Sierra Nevada in the background.  Mt. Whitney doesn’t show up here.

Overlook into King’s Canyon.

so, two national parks in one area, of course, too much to see entirely in one day, but we made a good effort.  Stay tuned for more adventure!
