Wife and I decided to turn the weekend into a road trip and decided to see what Yosemite looked like in the spring.  We were not disappointed.  The waterfalls are in full blast right now with the snow melt.  We also decided that we would check out the Sequoia's for once, even though it was a 2 mile hike uphill to get there, she did good for being 3 months preggo 

One note.  The pics do not serve these behemoths justice.  My jaw hit the ground when I walked up on the first one.  They are huge!!!  And we couldn't even get to the really big ones yet, those ones were still snowed in.

Unless you have stood next to one or even in one, you can never really get an understanding of how big they are. Have you visited the Petrified Forest. It is about half an hour from Santa Rosa. When you have seen a few of them in stone

So you went up to King's Canyon or whatever it's called? I also went up there he time I visited Yosemite... amazing place. Some of those trees are over 1000 years old.

[color=#000000]Thanks goodness. I was afraid I was going to see pictures of your vehicle smashed up against a big tree. Now I don't have to be concerned for your injuries. Great shots.

These were taken in Mariposa Grove, about two miles from the Hwy 41 entrance to Yosemite.   Kings Canyon is further south near Fresno, and I do hope to make it there one of these weekends

Patchz...I didn't even think of that when I put the thread title in
