Park rangers recommended these two treasures as Yosemite has wildfires. There is only one road open into Yosemite and visibility is poor due to the smoke. The smoke also affected some of the Sequoia National Forest and Kings Canyon National Park as you will see in some of the photos.

This is my favourite photo for today, Lemon Cove, even though it is quite hazy. This spot is just breathtaking.

General Grant Tree is the 2nd largest tree in the world and also known as “the Nation’s Christmas Tree”.

When I got out of the car to look at this tree I was overwhelmed by the scent of the forest. It smelt like Christmas!! With wildfires raging nearby, temperatures of 40C/104F the pine smell was incredible. The largest tree in the world is also in this forest but I will have to come back as I unfortunately ran out of time.

Once again the change of landscape driving out of the forest was phenomenal.

This is the tunnel tree.
