The end of the summer of 2018 brought with it another trip to Sequoia National Park with Trent, Krystal, Ty and some of Kaycee’s friends.
In our classic Kaycee and Elliott fashion we got out our tiny house doors early on a Friday morning (6 AM) to try and beat the traffic through LA to get to Sequoia in a decent time. We arrived to our campsite at Lodgepole at about 11 AM so mission accomplished.
Day 1 consisted of a hike through Congress Trail which you can find near General Sherman. While on the trail we spotted some deer grazing on some light green moss growing on a fallen tree. For dinner, Kaycee’s friend, Lauren, cooked up some mighty fine Korean BBQ tacos.
Day 2 consisted of a hike up Little Baldy trail which is about 3.4 miles round trip with about 700 ft. of elevation gained. At the end of the trail there’s a great vantage point where you can look out to all the surrounding trees and mountains.
When we got back to camp, we all enjoyed wraps and chips for lunch. Once the protein comes out, the bees all come out to get a bit of your lunch. Pretty annoying!
Later on the second day, the rest of the group went to go see General Sherman and walk around some of the trails in that area.
Since Kaycee and I had already seen all that the day before we decided to adventure around other spots in the park that we missed our first trip like the Tunnel Log and the fallen tree.
Side Note: Throughout the entire trip, we heard a lot of foreign languages. Many people speaking French and German.
Day three we cleaned up our campsite and headed back to reality. I ended up with zero bug bites this Sequoia trip which is about 30 less than our first trip.
Can’t wait to go back again!
Until next time!
