Day 50 - Sequoya National Park

June 20th
(Ursula) We said our goodbyes to San Francisco and set off for Sequoia National Park, passing through Fresno on the way. The park is famous for its massive and towering Sequoia trees, some of which are over 3,500 years old! These giants have endured countless fires, and their bark can grow up to 23 inches thick, offering them protection.

One tree, hollow at the base and looking partially burned, was still thriving—tall, healthy, and crowned with a lush green canopy. Standing among these incredible trees, we couldn’t help but feel so small in comparison to their age and grandeur.

We camped overnight in the park and enjoyed a refreshing dip in the cold mountain creek, the perfect way to cool off after a day of awe-inspiring exploration. Tomorrow, we’ll be heading to Las Vegas, ready for the next adventure!Read more
