3 fantastic national parks - Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon

Last 3 days I spent in 3 fantastic national parks, each of tchem had something special to remember.


I left Lake Tahou early morning and choose road, that leads me towards Yosemite from east entrance. This entry - called Tioga Pass - is very narrow and tough going up, which makes it close during winter time. Views inside park are marvelous - both granite rocks and canyons and streems between them.

The most pictures place in the park is Glacier Point - where the mountain panorama is amazing. Special focus is on the Half Dome - as it really looks like beng half of the rock.

Motorcycles has own parking space :-)

I spent evening in Sonora - where one of our factories is - where I met for a nice chet with Aaron & Tyke.

Wednesday was scheduled to visit Sequoia national park. I saw these trees before while amount of them and variety I saw here is for sure worth a dedicated trip to this park. I decided to come from south entrance where I climbed - without the bike ;-) - to Moro Rock and I hiked to see the world biggest tree - The General Shermann Tree.

Enter to parks from south (I do recommend coming this way !)

On Thursday I drive thru Kings Canyon national park. This park is connected with Sequoia one, while today my target was to use so called scenic byway which drove till the end and the bottom of the canyon. Due to height changethe views are fantastic and clearly shows different perspective when seeing the canyon from top or from the bottom.

The Grant Tree - the highest sequoia in the world

Afterwards I continue west to reach Pacific ocean once again. Tomorrow I go thru Big Sur - one of the best motorcycles roads in the world.
