McKinley Grove Giant Sequoias

IMG_4009

We went up the road from the meadows and cabin to see McKinley Grove.  The grove is full of giant sequoias.  These massive trees are so big that it is hard to comprehend.  Dusty, my dad’s friend from Kansas City, had never seen such big trees before in his life.  He was very impressed.
