Summer Happenings: Camping Ground Inwards Sequoias

If yous conduct maintain never been to the huge trees inwards Sequoia National Park it should live on on your bucket list!

First affair earlier our trip, nosotros needed to conduct maintain our petty doggie to a kennel (for the showtime time).  Lucky wasn't likewise fond of going.  Even though yous tin conduct maintain dogs inwards the commons yous can't conduct maintain them on whatever of the trails.

We drove the 4 hours to larn at that topographic point from our house.  I won't advert how long it took to pack everything inwards the van!

We railroad train army camp too the showtime sum solar daytime nosotros went at that topographic point nosotros went to Crystal Cave.  It is quite a hike downward to the surface area where the cave entrance is, but at that topographic point is a overnice petty waterfall there.  Fourteen twelvemonth agone when my married adult man too I were at that topographic point it was much bigger, but alongside the electrical current drought inwards CA it was only a cute petty waterfall.

Inside Crystal cave, taking pictures was hard.  I should nation that the pictures only don't laissez passer the beautiful cave justice.  The calcite formations are magnificent.

 There were some areas where it was super sparkly too!

 Back at army camp the kids had a jeopardy to practise their burn edifice skills too our littlest guy had a sum boom getting dirty.

Near Grant Grove they conduct maintain a Equus caballus corral.  The older kids went on an hr Equus caballus trail ride.  They loved it!

The trees hither are HUGE!  They are the largest inwards the globe too they are amazing to live on side past times side to.  The largest tree inwards the world's body is 36 feet inwards diameter!  There are trees alongside bigger--I intend 42' was the biggest, but General Sherman has the greatest mass, making it the largest.

This item tree is General Grant.

Me too my hubby : ).

There are several beautiful meadows inwards the Sequoia too Kings Canyon National Parks.  Here is ane of them...

Luckily the oldest helped the youngest arrive on some of the trails : )

Another thought of the meadow at the N halt of the Park.

I was actually glad I brought this Boogie Board then the kids could conduct maintain it to doodle on.  My iii twelvemonth one-time was entertained past times it piece nosotros were at army camp preparing nutrient to eat.  Pretty practiced drawings IMO!

It was fun to run into the younger 2 kids having then much fun.  There is a lot of dust that gets kicked upwardly at that topographic point too it sticks to the kids similar glue!  They had fun exploring some the campground too after inwards the solar daytime putting their feet inwards the river.

On Sat nosotros took the shuttle to Crescent meadow too walked some the 1.5 mile trail.

To laissez passer yous a perspective film hither is ane of the Sequoia trees alongside a span of my kids side past times side to it.

Along the trail of Crescent Meadow at that topographic point are a bunch of ferns too other foliage.  I idea these lavander colored flowers were neat.

So, that was our v solar daytime trip to the Sequoias.  The weather condition was perfect!  7000 feet inwards altitude, depression 80s during the solar daytime too mid 50s at night.

Have yous always been to the Sequoias?
