Seqouia & Kings Canyon camping trip

So I want to start documenting our trips to national parks, national forests, etc.. So here goes.

Sequoia national park and forest



General Sherman..The largest single stem tree in the world..



More to come soon on this area... @tyndall5818 and I are headed up this weekend!

 

I was just here 2 weeks ago...Flew to SF..stayed 2 nights, drove to Yosemite, 2 nights, drove to Sequoia 1 night...drove to Santa monica 1 night...drove to Laguna Hills 1 night...Airport drop off the rental flew to Las Vegas 1 night...drove to Grand Canyon for 2 nights and then back to Las Vegas for a red eye home... 1300 miles.

Sequoia was great. It where we saw BEARS! Hiked some cool trails. The Sugar pine trail from the crescent valley to Moro Rock was a great family hike. It was cool to be at 7000+ft and feel what a little altitude can do. I am in great shape and could still feel the altitude...Of course I had to carry all the water for 3

If you are still there get to the crescent meadow before 9am (That's when the shuttle starts and you will see so much wildlife before all the noisy people arrive)

 

Yea, we saw a few bears in Sequoia too! At least we were in a vehicle, bears arent to be messed with!

 

Where are all the pictures? We did so much more than that!

 

I havent taken any of them off of our camera yet lol.. Ill put the ones from my phone up today though

 

I was just there the same weekend too. Def. a beautiful place to visit.

 

Nice! Did you go up to Buck Rock Lookout?

 

Thanks, because it was just my kid and I in one truck we did the fireroad trail. I really wanted to do the "Jeep trail" but my son voted against it. How was the jeep trail?

 

It was awesome, I actually let the wife drive the whole thing. There were a few pretty cool hills, nothing too technical tough.

 

I knew I should've tried it. Oh well, next time. There will be a next time

 

Those giant sequoias are incredible. Pics don't do them justice.

 

Agreed, one has to see them in person to really appreciate just how huge they are.

 

Yea definitely...Id like to make a trip up to the Redwoods someday. I hear those ones are just as epic

 

The sequoia trees are awesome. This pic is actually from Mariposa Grove in Yosemite NP. Just breath taking every time I see them. My arm span is 6ft gives you an idea of how wide that tree actually is.

 

Nice pics. I almost went to Kings Canyon this month but instead went to Eastern Sierra's. I love the big trees.

 

Nice what part of the Eastern Sierras? Do you have any pics? Ill be heading over that way to camp at Cottonwood Lakes and to climb Mt Langley. Im so excited!

 

Camped primitive in Inyo Natl forest. Pics of trip in my build thread, last page, or search back a few pages on the truck camping picture thread.

 

old post but do u mind sharing where you camped? and where that lake is? looks amazing!

 

Beautiful spot!

 

Lake looks like Hume Lake just outside of Kings Canyon
