Sequoia National Park

We drove into Sequoia NP today. The scenery wasn't as spectacular as yesterday in Kings Canyon - all we could see was a lot of big trees - well duh, that's probably why they call it Sequoia NP! I don't mean to downgrade the park - the huge sequoia trees are majestic and there are lovely meadows along the route but we preferred the craggy canyon and rushing river from yesterdays drive.

Moro Rock

 We went to Moro Rock, a huge granite dome, with a panoramic view of the mountains and valley. There are 400 steps to the top. Believe it or not, Roger got about 2/3 of the way up - sat down and said "I can't go any further, the height is really getting to me!" I was so surprised - he has never had a problem with heights - it's usually me hanging back or hugging the inside edge! He waited for me while I went to the top. By the time I got back to the car my legs were like jelly! We ate a picnic lunch and I could hardly walk to the picnic table!
