Sequoia National Forrest

After our seaside visit in Monterey we headed off to see the giant trees at Sequoia National Forrest.

Ellie occupied herself by "reading" in the car


We stayed in a tiny town called Three Rivers. Think no stoplights. One of the rivers flowed right behind our cabin so we had to go dip our toes.

We went for a hike in amongst the giants. Here is a fallen sequoia. Most sequoias die from toppling they have very shallow root systems.

Ellie slept for most of our hike.



Showing daddy how tall the tree is.


Ellie drove us home
