Three Rivers to Oakhurst 15th June (Day 3)

Today we left Three Rivers and pressed on up into the Sierra Nevada mountains to visit the Sequoia National Park. After climbing to a viewpoint high in the hills where we could see a lot of the park and surrounding mountains



and the neighbouring Kings Canyon, we continued into the park to see the largest single living organism on the planet (they claim). It is a Sequoia named the General Sherman. The tree is not the tallest but it 33metres in circumference and tall enough to make it the biggest tree by volume.



We stopped at the visitor's centre for lunch which was very slow but good enough when we eventually go it.

After the Sequoia National Park which was an impressive place we descended into Kings Canyon to the river bridge



with what I think must be the best bar none bike road I have come across to date. Absolutely amazing sweeping and tight curves as we descended to the river then back again doing it the other way.

We were as high as 7000 feet and as low as 2000 feet through the afternoon

We then had to crack on as it was getting late and we had a lot of miles to cover to get to Oakhurst where we were stopping for the night. We arrived late.
