Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park

 

This is a quiet place where I can hear the wind rustling the leaves.

 

I see branches reaching into the sky.

 

 

I feel the solid and sturdy trunk yet there is a bit of softness.  I smell an ancient forest.

I love looking at trees.  In San Diego I’ve admired palm trees, torrey pines, cherry blossom trees, pine, fir, cedar and various fruit trees.  I’ve never seen a sequoia tree so I was excited to visit Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park.  We stayed in Fresno and the drive was about an hour.

The area is lovely with lots of trees to see.

We parked at Grant Grove and visited the General Grant Tree.  Sequoia’s are the largest trees in the world.  The General Grant tree is the largest in the General Grant Grove and is estimated to be 1,650 years old.  It was amazing seeing a tree so big and tall.

We spent the afternoon walking around admiring the sequoia’s.  Loved the sights and scents from the grove.
