We ventured back to Sequoia National Park and Generals Highway. Our objective was the Giant Forest Museum. By the time we had reached the museum area two days ago, it was too close to closing time. The museum itself was limited, but the walks through the big trees were awe inspiring - and we didn't go that far since there was a lot of slushy snow that was park bench deep. We soon made our way to the Beetle Rock to enjoy our lunch in the sunshine.
On our way back down to Visalia, we stopped for a short break at Hospital Rock. We made our way down the trail from there to the river below. We could well imagine wading in one of the secluded pool-like areas in hotter weather. You'd not want to venture into the river itself though.
Sequoia was the nation's second national park and deservedly so.
