Kaweah State Park had a nice rock for diving, but we just watched others do it since we were in a hurry to reach the trees. | General Sherman, the largest tree in the world by volume. | A branch that fell from General Sherman. |

A fallen Sequioa leaves its root structure exposed. It seems pretty small for such a large tree. | The Sequioas seem to survive well in groves, we saw numerous examples of this. | A collection of trees called The House (The Senate was nearby). Notice the people in the bottom of the picture! |

Part of the San Fran skyline from the docks. | Pier 39, where you learn how much noise a small group of sea lions can make. There were quite a few pups, but it is fairly difficult to see here. | Sunset over the hills north of San Fran. |
