After my bear encounter I decided to run my planned route in reverse. Starting from Crescent Meadow I ventured through the Giant Forest to the Museum, on the Moro Rock Trial to Moro Rock and back through to Crescent on the Sugar Pine Trail. I made a side trip on the Big Trees Trail and saw three more bears! A mother and her two cubs were in a meadow on the back side of the Big Trees loop. It was an exciting morning running though the Sequoias and seeing four bears!

Since it's STILL one-hundred-hot outside, I thought it would be nice to re-visit our trip to California from last year around this time. Moro Rock in the Sequoia Nat Park was one of the highlights of the trip. This huge outcropping of rock offers one of the most spectacular views you'll see in CA. If you ever get a chance to see the Sequoia and Kings Canyon area, don't pass it up!
