We drove into Kings Canyon National Park today. It adjoins Sequoia National Park. The park features Kings Canyon - one of the deepest glacial canyons in the U.S. at over 8,000 feet deep. The other protects a large area of old growth sequoia trees. The sequoia trees here are the Great Sequoia Trees, in comparison to the Coastal Sequoias we visited a week ago.
We camped in the depths of the Canyon and enjoyed a long walk along the river that runs through the canyon bottom. The canyon walls are carved from granite and are impressive. The huge boulders in the riverbed create white rapids and are as great to listen to as they are to admire.
The boys had a great time climbing over fallen trees, rock hunting, and sword fighting. ;)
