Today
Mineral King is the least visited and least appreciated of the areas you
are able to visit by Automobile.
Most of the Sequoia - Kings Canyon
National Parks are only accessible by backpack.
The
Giant Sequoia trees are the largest living things. Their
diameters are in excess of 30 feet and their heights are over 250 feet.
The bark has the feel of cork or balsa wood.
The
only other time I felt as totally awed as I did in the Giant
Forest, was as a child during a visit
to New York City.
There
are campsites and cabins for rent right in a grove of giants.
Be sure you book a year in advance though. |
| Our
next stop is Kings Canyon
which is just north and connected to Sequoia National Park. |
