Part I
December 26-29, 2007
A foggy drive
Chains required
A hungry coyote on the road
California drivers get stuck in the snow
Arriving to our destination: Wuksachi Village in Sequoia National Park
The sun sets early
Our lodge the next morning
Heading for breakfast in the main building
Ready to go explore the park
The trailhead at the Giant Forest Museum
Giant sequoia
Snow-covered
Many more to come
We cross-country skied
Through the forest
No one in sight
Enjoying the solitude
Off we go more into the forest
Marveling at the trees
Some uphill on the way
We were the first on the trail today
They are really big
Oops
Reaching Moro Rock
Ignoring the 'Do not climb in snow' sign
Posing with the rock
The road we drove up on
At the top (almost)
Siearra peaks in the background
Back on the trail again
Another fallen giant
Over 2000 years old
A sunny grove
Tunnel tree
Should we turn back?
No, that would not be adventorous enough for us
Let's take the long way back
Reaching cattle cabin
We made it back: a 14km loop on ungroomed trails
