Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

We stopped in a few spots in Sequoia National Park - Moro Rock, Crescent Meadow, Sherman Grove (Sherman is the largest tree in the world - by volume, not height), and Tokopah Falls. I've always loved big trees so it was a special experience to see these ones.

The next day we hiked in Redwood Canyon in Kings Canyon National Park. This is the largest redwood grove left - with thousands of giant trees. There were originally larger groves, but they were logged :-(

It's hard to take photos of these trees that show the true scale. Humans in the picture seem to work best.
