Sequoia National Park in winter

Our friends Mike and Val invited us to come down to California for a weekend of snowshoeing in Sequoia National Park. We flew down to Burbank and they picked us up for the 4 hour drive north into the Sierras. We arrived in time for dinner at the Wusachi Lodge and settled in for the evening.


Main lodge with the dining room and lounge area


Our rooms were 100yds away in this out building





The reason we came.























The fog soon rolled in for the rest of the day.




A root ball of one of several large Sequoias we passed by



One of many trail markers.





Tharp Log, where pioneer Hale Tharp built a cabin out of a fallen giant Sequoia tree




Lunch inside of Tharp's log cabin















Lunch and map reading inside of Room Tree.



















Mike looking very 80's in his newly found sun glasses


On our way out, we stopped for a short day hike up a river canyon.





And like water down the drain, our trip was over way too soon. Thanks Mike and Val for a great trip!
