bryanlallen > Looking back south towards where I had come from. The dark conifers with the rounded tops are Giant Sequoias, whereas other pointed-topped conifers are various species of pine and fir.
bryanlallen > View west to Moro Rock, a granitic dome along the north slope of the Middle Fork Kaweah River. The road to Crescent Meadow goes near Moro Rock and from that point there is a short trail to its top. Some of the trees in the lower foreground have the rounded tops characteristic of Giant Sequoias.
bryanlallen > Yep.
bryanlallen > Redwoods surrounding Redwood Meadow. Though I'd hiked towards this destination several times in the past (all the way back to 1969!), this was the first time I'd ever been here.
bryanlallen > The meadow is not particularly large but it was quite lush. Not sure how it would look later in the season after being grazed by stock.
bryanlallen > A nice bridge which crosses Eagle Scout Creek. This turns out to be a Bridge to Nowhere as the bridge further on across the Middle Fork is washed out.
bryanlallen > Crossing the bridge; it certainly made this creek crossing easier.
bryanlallen > Flowers and bees along Eagle Scout Creek.
