Kings Canyon National Park

After spending a day in Sequoia National Park, we drove over to Kings Canyon National Park (their borders touch).  We found a camping spot, set up our tent, and had dinner.  Here are pictures from the next day.  I think it would be hard to appreciate Kings Canyon fully unless you hiked a few miles past the last paved road like we did.  The views got better and better.

The road was really cool right here.  It was super narrow and windy with a straight up rock face to one side and a cliff down to the river on the other side.

We went for a little moonlight hike to a small waterfall, but this was the best picture.

Kings Canyon reminded us a lot of Yosemite.  Huge granite cliffs with beautiful forests and rivers.

The Kings River was very clear and you could see the deep bottom very clearly.

This was half-way up the hike to Mist Falls.  This view is the one that nobody gets from the road.  The rock formation is called the Sphinx and it was incredible.  This was a huge valley.

Here's the only picture we took of ourselves.  We loved Kings Canyon and recommend it to everyone.
