Of Trains and Trees
... up doing a 1.5km loop, which required a fair bit of uphill slog, and while some piggy-backing was involved, the kids enjoyed the walk through the forest for the most part. We made it a bit of a game to walk along logs and jump off rocks, and the kids had a ball. They were both covered head to toe in dirt at the end of it, but it was worth it. Interestingly, the Sequoias, like our eucalypt forests, need fire in order to survive. For thousands of years, forest ...

24th Nov. cont.
We had breakfast at a view point and made a stop at Bridalveil Fall before arriving at the village. We then parked up and headed to Lower Yosemite Fall. Yosemite National Park is famed for it's waterfalls and these were beautiful, but we had been warned that due to the season they may not be much more than a trickle. If these were trickles, we would love to see them in full flowing glory! Next we headed to the ...
