Tulare, CA Part 2 - Sequoia National Park

Friday we visited the south side of Sequoia.
A bit of trivia.
Sequoia is the only word that includes all 5 vowels.
Moro Rock

We took the .25 mile vertical trail up 400 steps to the top of Moro Rock, a large granite dome in the Giant Forest area.
The View from the dome offers an unparalleled view of
the Great Western Divide and its Canyons.

At the end of the trail you are standing
at the very top of the dome.
  
Picture window view of the snow capped mountains of
the high Sierras.
Auto Log
Tharps Log
Hale Tharp built a simple summer cabin from a fallen
fire-hollowed Sequioa Log in the 1860s.
Yes, our Yaris is very small, but these old trees are VERY BIG.
A neat view from inside a set of triplets.

Wow, those are some really cool pics! I am trying to imagine how big those really are-true size in person. The tour guide was pulling your leg tho-the word facetious has all vowels in order. (Add ly for y as well). ;)
