Before time gets away from me, like it usually does, I wanted to put together a small batch of photos from my BRIEF time in California at Sequoia and Kings Canon National Park. It has already been over a week since I was there, but a week in my time is like I returned yesterday to most people.<\/p>\n

I happened to be on a work trip to California and after putting in an 9 hour day (starting at 4am) we took off to see the sights in the mountains near Fresno. What we found was nothing short of amazing\u2026 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2026 the trees were huge! I had been to Muir woods before and seen the redwoods outside San Fran before, but these had more height to them. And the drive was really beautiful. I love how the landscape and the greenery changes so dramatically with elevation. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve personally never been in the drivers seat in the mountains so that was a fun experience. At times I felt like the road would never unwind. Coming down was by far the best part. My worry about running out of gas was a thing of the past as soon as we started back down the mountain. Pretty sure I coasted the entire 30 miles and 4000+ft of elevation. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit hard to grasp the scale of these trees so even though these people are random, I did include a photo with a few (below) just so you can see what we\u2019re talking about here. GIGANTIC! And sadly, all the huge trees were behind fence posts so I couldn\u2019t show my love with a big \u2018ol hug. A missed photo op, for sure.<\/p>\n

Then we cruised up an even more curvy single lane road – the kind of road where you pee your pants when you encounter a car from the other direction – but once we got to the top we saw this\u2026 quite a view!!!<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t wait to make it back again to do and see more than what a quick 2hr crash course has to offer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
