Sunday 19.7. (Sequoia)

In the morning, we set off from KOA Campground at the Lake Isabelly and head Northwest. GPS led us through county roads of the vast American countryside, to arrive into the Sequoia National Park in the afternoon. We climbed on the Moro Rock view, from where the whole park is nicely seen, and saw the largest tree in the world (General Sherman Tree), a road through the tunnel log of fallen sequoia tree and many nice sequoia groves. On one of the hikes we finally saw a bear (this time the black bear baribal), feeding itself only few meters from the trail. We set up the tents at a beautiful place near the river with waterfalls where we took a bath (the water was very cold but a natural jaccuzzi and pure water was worth the sacrifice).
