Over the long Thanksgiving Day weekend, Michelle, Ken and I went camping and hiking at Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks. We basically had the parks to ourselves since that is not a popular weekend for camping and there was plenty of snow.  I think we camped at the Potwisha campground.

 

Ken at the summit of Moro Rock.  This is a short quarter mile trail that offers great views of

the high Sierra.  The trail was very slick with ice as you'll see in the picture with Michelle below

We hiked to the Tokopah Falls but only two of us made it the whole way.  Michelle decided to take a break about a half

mile from the falls (which was frozen).  When Ken and I came back to get her we found her asleep by the side of the

trail in the snow.  A few people had passed her on the trail but I don't think anybody stopped to see if she was alright.
