We entered the land of giants in Sequoia National Park. The parking lot was located at the top of the trees, and the path led us down until we were at the base of the trees. Pretty amazing! Here we are with the General Sherman Tree (largest tree on earth).
The boys thought it was pretty cool to walk through a tree. This tree had died and fallen.
There were a lot of trees with fire damage. We learned that the sequoias are fast growing trees and also have super-thick bark, which protects it from fire and disease. John explores a "cave" created when this tree was damaged by fire. It was still living!
This one wasn't so lucky:-(
It was tough finding a lunch spot in the sun!
The boys promptly fell asleep, which left us with a quiet drive to Yosemite and the chance for a selfie at one of the peaks in Sequoia.
