I had planned to camp at Lodgepole campground while we visited Sequoia National Park, but I saw that it was going to be pretty cold, so I opted to stay down in the valley in Visalia at the KOA.  Jessica was unknowingly thankful.  We did get to go swimming at the KOA.  I was hoping to grab some good pictures with the giant sequoias similar to our last visit.  However, I didn't realize last time when we visited that snow was covering all the signs saying that you weren't supposed to go up close to the prize sequoias because it might be harmful to their roots.  So, we weren't able to get an updated version of this picture:

We did hike up Moro rock and Kiara managed to do the whole climb by herself.  I also managed to get the classic "driving through the tree picture".  The last time we were there, the road was closed due to snow and it was a two mile hike to the the tree.  I'm glad we didn't do the hike last time and we just waited until we could visit the tree when the snow was open.

We did manage to get a few of the pictures with the prized sequoias, though their immense size wasn't as noticeable in our pictures due to the restrictions on getting next to them.  We did see more bears in Sequoia than in Yosemite.  The rangers weren't on top of their presence nearly as much as they were in Yosemite either.
