Sunday was a road trip day! My co-worker and I hopped in the car and drove up to Sequioa National Park!
We saw some pretty awesome giant trees. The weather was a sunny 75 and perfect hiking weather. We hiked for about 4 hours. At an elevation of 7000+ feet, the air was clean (for once) but a little thin
It was crazy how much all of the trees were burned and still standing. Several of the trees had been struck by lightning in the past few months and fires are a constant problem.
We saw a few critters a long the way. Including deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and two baby black bears.
We were able to see the biggest tree in the world by volume, the General Sherman tree. We were not that impressed by it actually.
But those trees were pretty tall.
Overall we had a lot of fun playing in the big forest!
We are now tree huggers!
Check that off the California To-Do List!
