Cones of Sugar Pine. They're big! - bryanlallen's Photos

A training hike to the Hockett Meadows area starting and ending at the South Fork trailhead in Sequoia National Park, May 25-27, 2006. It had been a dry winter so the area was relatively snow-free and the streams were only moderately full.

bryanlallen > Trailhead sign at South Fork trailhead, Sequoia National Park. Self-issue wilderness permits from this trailhead, no charge. Starting altitude about 3500 feet. Photo a bit fuzzy but I didn't want to use flash (thus the 1/6th second exposure...)

bryanlallen > Lots of lupine and other flowers. The trail is on a north-facing slope and thus is shady, leafy, green, and well-watered.

bryanlallen > Portions of the lower trail were/are a bit overgrown. Some of that greenness is poison oak, so long pants are advised...

bryanlallen > The green leafiness of the trail, bearing steadily upwards.
