Western Journey continued III

Visalia is very close to Sequoia NP, which was our next destination. We spent a good part of the day driving through the park and looking at big trees. We took a hike down to the General Sherman tree. Sequoias are weird trees. General Sherman is dead at the top, but keeps on growing around. According to the park, the General adds the equivalent of a whole tree every year. I wondered--what kind and size of tree, but there was no one to ask. Afterwards we drove to Yosemite and toured from the south entrance to the valley. We spent the night at an inferior lodge associated with the NP. Worst room of our trip.
