Sequoia Part 1

We saw the General Grant Tree first. It's hard to capture the size of this tree, the tree with the greatest diameter, on camera.

One of our favorite things wasn't even in Sequoia, it was in the national forest just outside of Sequoia. Buck Rock is an A-cab fire lookout tower built in 1925, one of only three of that kind left standing today. We walked up the stairs on the rock to the top. Someone actually lives in it 24-7 to watch for and report fires. There is a bed, a sink, a stove and a gorgeous 360 degree view up top.

A hummingbird feeder at 8,502 feet! We saw six hummingbirds come at once!

Before we hiked up we saw a lizard with a bright blue belly!
