We drove from Morro Bay to Sequoia which took 3 or 4 hours. The road into the park was incredible. It climbed 5000 feet from the park entrance to our campsite in the centre. We could only drive 15-20mph as the roads were constantly twisting with a hairpin every half a mile. As we got higher the scenery changed and we were amongst the giant sequoias, having to drive through gaps in the trees where the road has to split into two levels.
The drive was a challenge but I actually really enjoyed it.
Eventually we got to the campsite only to find that all the RV spaces were closed. After asking other people parked in RVs, we found out that we could park in the main car park for free. The campsite was in a great setting with mountains and rivers surrounding it. There was even some snow/ice still on the ground around the trees. There were warnings of bears in the area. We didnt see any, but we did see a deer close to where we parked the RV.
Next morning we packed up and went to see the General Sherman tree. It was more impressive than I imagined. Photos dont really do it justice.
We got back to the RV and made our way back down the twisty road and out of the park to an RV park near Tulare. 
Where are you heading next? You should perhaps say where next at the end of each post. Oh sorry am I backseat blogging?

ReplyDeleteWe agree with Vicky. We are missing all your news!!We assume you can't get on the net.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying Yosemite. We have seen on the net that one road in the park is still bloked with snow and could be until June!
