We had a fabulous weekend in Kings Canyon National Park. We have decided that this is our favorite campground. It is the azalea campsite in Grant's Grove. We were lucky to have Allison, Tyler, and my brother Brian join us for the adventure.
Roasting marshmallows is a favorite activity in the woods. We play a game to see who can make the blackest marshmallow without ever letting it catch on fire. It is not as easy as it seems.
Burning sticks and writing smoke letters in the air is also a fun activity...
We set out on the trail to see huge sequoia trees.
Along the trail we had some fun with Allison's camera. You have to click on this picture. Notice anything interesting at the cabin? There are two Haley's and two Hannah's. How'd we do that? (Ancient chinese secret!!)
Here's Uncle Brian looking like such a rugged mountain man.
There were so many fun trees to explore. We love this one tree that you can actually climb inside.
We climbed to the top of Moro Rock. The hike is fairly simple, about 480 steps along the edge of the cliff. There are guardrails along the way, otherwise it could be a bit scary. Once at the top we took a few minutes to enjoy the view. AWESOME!
It was such a great trip. Having an air mattress really makes tent camping enjoyable. We look forward to more camping next summer!
