First morning at our sweet campsite in Azalea at King's Canyon National Park. It's still early in the season - down to 34F at night and we practically have the place to ourselves!
Beautiful views of the Great Western Divide - peaks so tall you can't even see Mt Whitney! (And yes for those who care - that is Manzanita in the foreground. Plus snow and Adam.)
As you might imagine there are enormous trees in this national park. The Sequoias that fall do not decompose for hundreds of years thanks to tannins - same stuff that makes your wine taste bitter.
Beware. Ailey found the ice cream.
Boyden's cave! Forget stalactites and stalagmites - this cave has formations called draperies, upside-down sand dribble castles, a "wedding cake", and drip pools whose borders are formed by single drops propagating to the edges. We have pictures for those interested.
