Polly, Maryann and Mike went to Sequoia. We had perfect weather. If you hadn't guessed, I like big pictures of places. Hit F11 to make your browser full screen.

I would have liked to seen this when it was open on the side of the road.

In the foothills on the way up.

There were a lot of nice flower displays. It was a bit late in summer. Greenery was thick.

A big one on the path to Crescent Meadow.

This is Cresent Meadow. There was a nice path to it from the parking lot at the Sequoia Village.

Further along Cresent Meadow trail.

Nice grove on the Crescent Meadow path.

Polly looks very comfortable with her tree.

Further in Crescent Meadow. We thought the trail was a loop, but after a while decided it went to the General Sherman Tree.

Big one by Crescent Meadow.

I found me a tree. This was by Crescent Meadow.

Big Fella - above the General Grant Tree. This is Kings Canyon National Park now.

Burned out tree that you can go through. Right next to General Grant Tree. Obviously, pretty big.

Nice group of big Sequoias above Grant Tree. The Grant Tree is actually in Kings Canyon National Park instead of the smaller Sequoia National Park. There are actually more Sequois in Kings Canyon National Park than Sequoia National Park

And here's the General Grant Tree - second biggest tree, behind the General Sherman Tree. 267 ft. tall. 1,650 years old. Third largest footprint of any living giant sequoia, measuring 107.6 ft (32.8 m) in circumference at ground level.
The General Sherman Tree is the largest in the world at 52,508 cubic feet. The General Grant Tree is the second largest at 46,608 cubic feet.
