day trip

This weekend we took a daytrip to the mountains. In my opinion, we don't get out here nearly enough :)

It was so much fun, and I LOVED the cool, crisp air!

We usually go to the General Sherman trail and just walk that to the General Sherman Sequoia, but we shook things up this time and tried a new path....Crescent Meadow. It's our new favorite :)

{Crescent Meadow}

It's a few hundred feet above General Sherman. It loops around a meadow that is surrounded by giant Sequoias. So amazing.

We did find a fallen Sequoia that stretched across the meadow, and we may or may not have--but definitely did--cut across the meadow on this beast of a tree. I mean, how many people can say they have used a giant Sequoia as a bridge?? :)

With the short cut :), it took us about an hour and 15 minutes to make the Crescent Meadow loop.

The bears were out eating acorns from the trees...we did see one walking on the road while we were driving up :) Adelyn was pretty pumped about that and wanted to bear hunt the rest of the day :)

We had so much fun! I cannot wait to get back :)
