Road Trip West Day 4 (Sequoia National Park)

So we left Grand Canyon National Park early early early. We forgot the whole 'Arizona doesn't participate in Daylight Savings Time' thing and had kinda already changed our clocks :) So we got up an hour early!!! We had planned on waking up at 5:30 and leaving around 6 but instead we woke up at 4:30 and left around 5. Oh well. We got to watch a fantastic sunrise as we drove to California.

Sunrise about 50 miles outside of the Grand Canyon.

Sequoia National Park!

I swirved to miss this thing, I thought for sure it was a Tarantula. Abbey became unsure about Camping, and I was bummed that I hadn't seen it earlier to take a better picture. After talking to a Ranger, we found out that it indeed was a Tarantula but that they wouldn't be at the elevations we were camping at.

Abbey standing next to the Biggest Tree in the World (by volume), the General Sherman Tree. I know I said that the Grand Canyon was the biggest thing I've seen, but these things are equally gigantuous. They are amazing!
