SEQUOIA NP Here We Come....

It is a bit of an inconvenient "haul" to get around/over/through the Sierras and to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks (www.nps.gov/seki ), but that was our goal today. We were staying in Sequoia tonight at the Wuksachi Lodge (http://www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/lodging.htm). We wanted to scope out part of the park prior to bedding down so we motored over the mountain "with purpose" as they might say.

In our hike up Moro Rock, I confess I gave up with some of the overlooks and to the dismay of my small children headed down. My biggest regret of the trip.

We also saw these black bears (although they have a redish tone to them) in the woods not far from the road. One proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that bears do $hit in the woods while we watched - just doing my scientific duty.
