Talked my wife in to going to Sequoia National Park for our anniversary. Though I have been there 3 times, she had never been. So Friday after a half days work off we set for Sequoia.
She was amazed by the size of the Sequoias. We went for a little hike through the Giant Forest, just beyond the Giant Forrest Muesum.

To give you some perspective, those are cars in the lower left of this picture.

From my past trips, they have made some changes in the roads in the park. They are of course re-building the General's Highway into the park from the south. But they have also blocked off the road to Moro Rock, and are running a shuttle bus up to it.
Moro Rock.

On the shuttle bus you miss this fallen tree root.

You can no longer drive thru the fallen log. I'm sure they have a good reason.

I was there last week too. Only my second visit. Amazing place. Cool to see pics of the trees.
I did a backpacking trip out of Kings Canyon along with sightseeing and day hiking in Sequoia.
You could still drive to Moro rock/Crescent Meadow and under the tree, just not during the weekends or during peak seasons and hours.

Nice pics. Glad to see the drug cartels haven't trashed the entire place! Need to get back there. Tom
