Auch in diesem Park, welcher an den Sequoia NP grenzt, gibt es viele solcher gigantischen Bäume.
Sie können uralt werden, z.Bsp. der "General Grant Tree": 1700 Jahre alt, Höhe 82 Meter, Umfang 33 Meter, Durchmesser 12 Meter, 1325 Tonnen.....Read more

Noc sme stravili niekde v San Barbare v bocnej ulicke. Noc bola celkom chladna, hlavne teda v jaskyni na streche auta. Po rannej kavicke a hygiene v McDonalde sme vyrazili smerom do Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. Po par hodinach jazdy sme necele 2 hodinky pred zapadom slnka dorazili k vstupu do parku. Od vstupu az po sekvoju generala Shermana to bola skoro dalsia polhodina serpentinami s celkom slusnym prevysenim, ale tie vyhlady stali za to. Cesta smerom do najvyssieho bodu hory sa tiahla lestnatym lesom bez jedineho naznaku ze nejaku sekvoju vobec uvidime. Az ked sme sa s autom prehupli cez vrchol hory ocitli sme sa v zajati vysokanskych a hrubociznych sekvoji. Videli sme najmohutnejsi strom na planete, ale keby nebol oznaceny, bolo by v lese kandidatov na tento titul hned niekolko. V noci sme sa presunuli do San Jose, kde sme prespali pred Walmartom.Read more

Day 23
The Grand Sequoias (King's Canyon)
July 17, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Today we visited King's Canyon National Park which is a part of Sequoia. Because Sequoia Park doesn't allow RVs they rerouted us to the King's Canyon. We were able to see the second largest Sequoia tree they called the Grant Tree after President Grant. My pictures don't do it justice. We also did a small hike to the stump of a tree the call the Mark Twain stump. It was cut down in the in the late 1800s and a round slab was sent to NYC but nobody believed it was real. It's still in a museum there. The stump is humongous. One can only imagine how big it would have been today had it not been cut down which is also one of the reasons the trees have now been preserved. We found a campground outside of Yosemite so we'll brave the crowds tomorrow.Read more
Traveler Well darn - You would think that would be something that they would include on their website. Glad you still got to see some of them. They truly are amazing trees. Hard to believe that they start out with a seed the side of an oatmeal flake!
