Day 10 – No RVs Allowed

No RVs allowed! After driving an hour to the entrance to Sequoia, we discovered that RVs weren’t allowed to continue on that section of the park road. Well, crap! It would have been nice to know that in advance.

The websites for the National Parks are lousy – especially if you’re trying to see driving maps or hiking trails. (You know – those things you need to know to plan your trip!) At the entrance to the parks, they give you a brochure and map. That’s a little late! How hard would it be to put that info on the website?!?!

Yes, I’m being crabby. But, if you’ve been following along on our journey, you know this isn’t the first time we’ve run into obstacles at the Parks – simply because we didn’t have the right information.

Back to the Sequoia saga –
We had to turn around and drive an hour back to where we started, then take another road. That meant we wasted two hours, and we weren’t even to the park, yet.

At Sequoia, the trees were big, and the forest was beautiful. But, this wasn’t one of our favorite places. I don’t know if we were just tired of driving up and down mountains, or tired of hiking, or still ticked off about the extra two-hour drive. Regardless, we just weren’t overly impressed. It was ok, but not fantastic like so many other things we’d seen.

We left the park and drove toward Yosemite. We stayed at a great location – near the south entrance at KOA Yosemite South.

Westward Ho!
