Sequoia National Park

Sequoia in the Winter (January 2010)- Absolutely beautiful. Took a three day trip staying at Wuksachi Lodge going snowshoeing and seeing the biggest tree in the world, The General Sherman, a Sequoia tree. We decided to snowshoe the Topokah Valley Trail up to Tokopah falls going against advice of park officials because they said it was dangerous ice(isn't that way we have snowshoes on?). It was about a 3 1/2 mile round trip. The falls was amazing being mostly frozen over but still flowing under the ice and visibly flowing at breaks in the ice. A lot of the popular places in Sequoia like the tunnel tree and Crystal Caves are closed in the winter, but the trip is worth it to see the half frozen falls and untouched snow covering the ground, its also a lot less crowded!
