King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks


After leaving Yosemite, we headed south in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the much less crowded King's Canyon National Park.  
King's Canyon is deeper than the Grand Canyon...
 

And has some giant Sequoias

The next day, we went to Sequoia National Park. This is the General Sherman tree, which is an estimated 2,200 years old and the biggest tree in the world. It's not the tallest tree or the widest, but it is the biggest by volume at 2.5 million pounds. 


Let's play "Where's Kurt?"  He is hiding like Waldo.

The Sequoias are grand
 

After many days of exploring, hiking, and sleeping in the car, it was time to head home.
