Total Miles Traveled 4942
We drove into the center of Sequoia National Park on a road that gained about 4000 feet elevation in about 15 miles. It was the twistiest and turnyest road we have ever driven on. Finally we saw giant sequoia trees. We took several hikes through the big trees and got to see many of them up close. They really are enormous. We also took a hike to the biggest tree in the world named General Sherman.
We also hiked to the top of Moro Rock, a huge granite outcropping.

On the way back down the mountain to the campground we saw a cinnamon colored black bear. It was a lot lighter colored then we had expected.
