Finally - a trip out of the city provided a much needed break and amazing surroundings. Located in the Southern Sierra Nevada - about 5 hours southeast of San Francisco - Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Forest have an amazing variety of mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and dense forests, with elevations ranging from 1300 to almost 15,000 feet.
John Muir once said this valley was grander than Yosemite.... which seems about right to me. The most surprising and plesant part of this trip was the lack of people in the park: Our campsite was half empty, easy to find an isolated area. Not a soul was seen during our hike to the top of a mountain. Bears roamed the hiking trails freely. No masses, tour buses, tourists. It was amazing.
