Day 25 Sequoia National Park

I don't know what to say about today....it was a WOW day but that doesn't really express what we saw.  Today's scenery was spectacular, unbelievable, mind boggling...I just don't know!!  It started with the drive from Fresno, and ended with our drive out of Sequoia National Park all the way to Exeter, CA.  It was simply an amazing day!!

Fresno to Sequoia National Park:

Then, we entered Sequoia National Park.  I have always wanted to go there.  I have to say it was not at all what I imagined it to be. It exceeded my expectations beyond words!! I did not expect the high elevation and the gorgeous views we had.  Needless to say, I was ecstatic!!!!!

We ate lunch at the place pictured above.

We finally go to the Giant Sequoia Forest and it was beautiful.  We got to see the largeset tree on the planet!!! The size of these trees is amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

                              

And of course, the Granddaddy of them all, The General Sherman!!

 

 

And on our way out, the scenery was just as spectacular!!

 

As you can see, it was a gigantic WOW day!  This beauty is a religious experience.  God created such a miraculous world for us to enjoy and to take care of.  I feel honored to be able to see it and experience it.  Absolutely incredible!  

We thought we would be in and out of the park and well on our way to Flagstaff, Arizona.  But we ended up spending about six and a half hours slowly working our way through the park and enjoying every moment!!!  We settled into our hotel in Exeter, CA. around 6:30ish!!  Tomorrow, we are honking out for Flagstaff and plan on staying there for a few days as we use it as our base for both the Grand Canyon and Sedona.  

Life is good, folks!  It really is!  Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds!!
