jtroth > Self-portrait on Moro Rock; Sequoia National Park Last stop in Sequoia National Park. After this we left for Bishop, on the other side of the Sierra, to see the Bristlecone Pines. Since Janet didn't climb all the way up, Mas used the the tripod and timer to take this photo.
jtroth > Moro Rock; Sequoia National Park Moro Rock is a small brother to the famous Half Dome of Yosemite Park. These massive domes of granite formed deep underground and were later pushed up by high by tectonic activity. A stairway and railings were built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps so we could climb to the top. This is a far as Janet went.

jtroth > General Sherman tree; Giant Forest, Sequoia National Park The main attraction for visitors to the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are the Giant Sequoia. These trees grow in a narrow altitude band between 5000 and 7500 feet (1524 - 2286 m). The biggest ones are the largest trees on earth, and are among the oldest. This is the biggest tree in the world. It is 275 feet tall (84 m), and has a trunk volume of 52972 cubic feet(1500 cubic meters). Every year it grows a millimeter all around, which means that each year it adds enough wood to make an entire 60-foot tall (18.3 m) ordinary tree.
