Sequoia -- big trees


We went to Kings Canyon/Sequoia National park for a 2-day one night tour. We see all these giant Sequoia trees everywhere, they are so BIG, they weigh about 500-700 tons, and they are aged about 2000-3000 years old, they are still very alive and healthy. The "skin" of these giants are very soft which is amazing. We also joined Star Party at night, the sky is so beautiful, full of stars, the view is just incredible at this 7500F elevation. But it also super cold at night, it's about 25-35F. So we only stayed about 10pm, we have to run back to our also cold cabin to sleep, did not slept thru.. too cold..

The famous Sequoia tree !!!
