Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park

We headed north east out of Los Angeles. The first landscape change we noticed was large mountains covered with bright greens, than as quickly as it came it flattened out to flat plains as far as you could see. We noticed lots of Vineyards, miles and miles of grape vines. Next came miles and miles of Orange groves, we decided to stop at a roadside stand and purchase some local produce. I am not kidding when I say we had the best oranges and strawberries ever. Shortly after that we arrived at Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. Giant Sequoia trees only grow at altitudes of 5000-9500 feet, so we had some mountains to climb. The trees were massive. We saw a bear, coyote and a roadrunner. Next onto Kings Canyon the views were the biggest of this trip. There was some flower which filled the air with fragrance, we looked for it but could not find the plant. We stopped on a canyon ridge to have dinner and church, then we drove to the next town of Sanger, California about 1 hour away. We are once again heading to the wal-mart in Fresno. We may stay there for the night if we can’t make it to the campground in
Millerton. Tomorrow we are headed for Yosemite National Park.
