In June of 2005 I visited
Sequoia
and Kings Canyon National Parks in California. This was a "practice
trip" before heading out to Lake Powell a few weeks later. In June,
the snowmelt is at its highest, and the King River was rushing. There
was significant water flowing down the main river, and many small streams
contributing to it. Every few hundred yards along the road there was
a waterfall flowing down the rocks.
During this trip we drove to the end of the road in Kings Canyon and
took a short hike to Zumwalt
meadow. It was a good trip. Nice and cool up in the mountains, lots
of water around, and the wildlife was flourishing. In the future I hope
to include this on my planned national park trip, when I get an abundant
amount of money and time off from work.
Here are some pictures from this trip:
