Monarchs of the Earth

We visited Sequoia National Park today and saw the General Sherman Tree and the McKinley Tree and the Sentinel Tree and many others. We climbed Moro Rock and walked the Congress Trail, where we passed the House Group and the Senate Group (no relations to the current political situation). We were surrounded by huge trees of immense age and grandeur and looked out to see the Sierras.

To get into and out of the park we drove Highway 198 and the Generals Highway around multiple hairpin turns that would tax the nerves of race car drivers, but we were taking them at 10 mph and sometimes less. When we came back down off the mountains we congratulated ourselves that we were still alive, hadn't had any accidents, and hadn't fallen off any cliffs.

What a fantastic day!
