I really enjoyed Sequoia National Park
because of the big Sequoia Trees, all the rivers, and the cave. We drove up a windy road that went high into the mountains until we reached the Sequoia Trees. When we neared our destination, we saw many
tall sequoia trees, with really wide trunks. We hiked up
the trail, and when we stood next to the sequoias, we looked like tiny mice. As
we continued up the trail, we saw a big boulder that fell, and attached to the
sequoia. They looked like a married couple. These trees were my favorite part
of Sequoia Tree National Park, and they brought beauty for many people to see.
Another
part of Sequoia that I really enjoyed were the Indian Head
River, the Potwisha River, and Hospital Rock River. Our first stop was the
Indian Head River, where we hiked down to get there. There weren’t many people there, and we didn’t spend much time there. We crossed the
rocks with our grandfather, and swam a little bit. Our next stop was the
Potwisha River which was very good for swimming and we had a wonderful time.
Our last destination was Hospital Rock where there were numerous
people. It was our favorite because you
could cross the rocks, jump from boulders into the water, and swim. The water
was very refreshing, after a hike to get there. I will never forget these
rivers, and there unique features.
The last day of our stay, we went to a cave. We hiked down a long strenuous path to the
cave. During this hike, we saw a small waterfall. Inside the cave, it was about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but we were prepared with our warm jackets. It was also a very wet cave, and
there was water dripping from the ceiling, and puddles on the floor. While
walking around, we saw many stalacites hanging from the ceiling. Our guide led
us into many different rooms that were all very unique. In one room, our guide turned off her
flashlight, and it was pitch black. She told us that the person who found this
cave thought it was ugly because he couldn’t see anything. When she turned on
the lights it was a beautiful room with a small river flowing on the side. I
will never forget our trip to Sequoia, and the beauty of the places we saw.
In the evenings, after spending the day exploring the park, we played chess in our cabin. There was not much else to do at this time. so my grandfather, me, and Miriam would play a game of chess.
