Cedar Grove, Part 1

Every year we go camping in Kings Canyon. I have been going since I was a baby. It doesn't matter how many times I have been there, I am still in awe of how beautiful it is. I can see why Ansel Adams spent so much of his career in Yosemite. I think I could photograph Kings Canyon for decades and never be bored.

The first half of our camping trip was spent down in the canyon in Cedar Grove. I got up early one morning to take pictures in Zumwalt Meadow.





I love this flower. It is called a Sneezeweed... what a name.



I wanted to stay longer but about 1,000 mosquitoes mistook me for breakfast so I decided to go. We also got a chance to go on a hike to the site of an old camp and mine that is near the road's end. There is not a lot left of the camp but there is a historic trash pile.



There is also the remains of the cabin the last owner of the camp lived in. I think I'd prefer a tent.



The view of the canyon from the mine was impressive.
