After leaving the California Coast we headed East to Sequoia National Park. The park suffered last year from the KNP Complex Fire and many areas were closed for months. The firefighters actually wrapped General Sherman and many other sequoias with aluminum fire resistant blankets to protect them from the fires. As many as 2,300 giant sequoias burned to death or are expected to die as a result from the fire. This fire was caused by a severe lightning storm.

Death Valley - Part Three!In this video we explore the following areas:Darwin FallsScotty’s CastleThe Furnace Creek AreaDante’s ViewAs you have seen, Death Valley has many different faces! Waterfalls, painted deserts, castles, salt flats and mountains, just to name a few. One of the most interesting features is Scotty’s Castle. Built in the 1920’s as a vacation home it is a colorful slice of history. Eventually the park service acquired the “castle” and conducted tours as a period museum with people dressed as they would have been dressed in the 20’s. The castle was as it would have been with the original…
