It was time to spend our last day in the national parks. On the agenda: Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. We started the day with the same as I did ten years ago: visiting the tree General Grant. Afterwards I wanted to lead Stefan to a nice panoramic point. The road was steep and very narrow and at the end: no panoramic view.. But the road was fun. Next we went to the far end of Kings Canyon. The road follows the river through the canyon resulting in a very beautiful scenery. At the end of the canyon: heavy rain.<\/p>\n
We took the road back to the start and drove to the largest tree (in volume): \u00c2\u00a0General Sherman. Lot has changed in the 10 years. A branch of 2 meter in diameter has fallen of in 2006. And we could not park near the tree anymore. The parking lot was now a bit further away with a trail descending to it. For some Americans quite steep. At the end Sherman looked like erm.. Sherman. Like it was ten years ago. With one branch less of course.<\/p>\n
We ended our\u00c2\u00a0 tour in Sequoia National park at the Moro Rock. It was a steep climb yet again to the top of this magnificent bare rock, with an awesome view.<\/p>\n
Afterwards we drove out of the park and ended up in a very nice Super 8 motel in a town called Lindsay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
