We waited for it to warm up a bit before we dragged ourselves
out of the tent. And warm up it did, as we enjoyed sunny weather
for the 4th day in a row. After breakfast we packed up and checked
out, then did the pleasant Tokopah Falls hike.
After a picnic lunch, we stopped at the Lodgepole gift shop, where
we purchased sequoia starters -- trees that have grown for a year
or so which you can take home and grow into full-grown trees.
Sequoias are fast-growing trees, but it would take about 3000
years to grow one the size of General Sherman.
We drove back to Grant Grove (near the park entrance), and strolled
along the short, paved General Grant Trail. Then we started the long drive back to the Bay Area, back to
civilization, away from the wonders of the Sierra.
