In a seemingly winterless reality, a need for cold precipitation can drive even the sanest individuals over the edge. Well, that is just what happened last weekend when we set out on our first Sequoian Snow Fest. Moderation has never been one of our strengths, and consequently over the duration of a four day weekend, we did an excessive amount of snow-shoeing, slept one too many nights on the frozen earth, and traversed endless curvy roads in our car. Our rewards far outweighed the trials, however, as the beautiful Kings Canyon and Sequoia Park landscape enveloped us with its beauty. We were particularly impressed by the Sequoian beasts that stand as silent testaments to living history. The General Sherman Tree (pictured below) is supposedly the biggest tree in the world, by volume. What an honor to walk among these natural beauties!
