The plan for today was to check out
the sites along Glacier Point Road. Our first stop was Bridal Veil
Falls.
We drove up most of Glacier Point
Road, but there was so much smoke as we neared the top that decided to turn
around since we couldn't see anything at the viewpoints.
By the time we arrived at our next
destination, Sequoia National Park, our little tent cabin was ready to load
some of our stuff into and then we drove through Kings Canyon stopping at Roaring
River Falls
and Grizzly Falls
Honestly I wasn't that impressed
with Kings Canyon. I think living in the Pacific Northwest has spoiled me
and raised my standard of beautiful landscapes.
We had dinner reservations at the
only restaurant in the Grants Grove area. We had just enough time before
dinner to check out the General Grant tree - one of the largest sequoia trees
in the world.
Dinner was pretty good - slow, but
filling. Our little tent cabin was surprisingly clean and had a cute
setup. Not necessarily ideal for a family of seven, but we managed with
putting 4 in one double bed laying horizontally (Abigail's leg elevated on a
suitcase on the nightstand) and then Carly and I shared the other double bed
and Justin was on his luxury camping mat on the floor. No electricity and
the bathrooms were a short walk away. Fun experience though.
