This weekend it was Sir's 29th birthday. We took a little trip up to Sequoia National Park. I was looking to see some green since I'm getting sick of the brown dirt and rocks around San Diego, and I was not disappointed. Everything was so beautiful and there was still snow (quote from me: "what's all that white stuff?").
First off we stopped off at the General Grant Tree in Sequoia's Grant Grove. The General Grant tree is named after Ulysses S. Grant and is the third largest sequoia tree in the world and is estimated to be over 3,000 years old. That's one huge old tree.
Upon arriving at our destination, Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon, we hiked the Mist Falls trail, which was 8 miles, round trip. Along the way we saw this deer having a little snack in the middle of the trail. We stopped and hung around until she was done and then continued on our way. We saw many deer on our trip. I'm glad it was deer we saw and not bears or cats as it very well could have been.
Our final destination: Mist Falls.
Aside from driving through the depressing dairy farm-town on the way there and the less than luxurious lodge we stayed in, it was a great trip and I'm really glad we got out to experience something new.
