Sequoia RV Ranch

This was a great little campground, and it was only ten minutes from the park. We saw three black bears in the first 24 hours, but we couldn’t get any pictures of them. We spent two days kicking around the park. The sequoia trees are just mind-blowingly huge! We didn’t realize there would be snow up where The Giant Forest was, we weren’t prepared. We were all a little too cold to go for a walk in the trees. The next day we bundled up, the kids got to have a snowball fight among the magical giant trees. They also earned their JR. Ranger badges!

There were a lot of kids at this campground, so the boys were out playing and practicing their “lightsaber skills” most of the day on Monday. They had this week off for Thanksgiving.
