Sequoia National Park, CA

Detour!  Before going to Sequoia National Park we drove to Cabazon, CA to see life size dinosaurs.  There were large robotic ones as well as still statue like ones.  We also got to go up inside the T-Rex which was pretty cool.  Billy loved it! It was a really good exhibit.

After that we drove to Sequoia National Park.  One the way there was some pretty cool scenery.  We saw our first California Orange tree, as well as cherry trees, and vinards.  When we got to the hotel it was 5pm, so we checked in, brought our stuff inside, and then quickly left to drive to the park. We drove the long curvey road through the park, and the trees were massive.  We made our way to General Sherman Tree which is the largest tree on Earth.  It was really cold, and foggy at the top of the moutain were we were, so it is hard to see, but it was huge.  You can see me and Billy  next to the tree and comparatively, we look like little specks.  It was really neat.  The Redwood National Forest will not be that exciting anymore, because these trees just blew them away. Haha.

This morning we are on our way to Yosemite National Park.  We will camp there for two days, and tour/hike some of the park.  Lots of it is still closed due to snow and ice unfortunately.  We were hoping to hike half dome, but it is closed.  

Below are some pictures of huge Dinosaurs and Trees.
