Twisty roads and grandiose canyon vistas

I got to gawk and Kent got to drive the twisty roads again today. We took the car into Kings Canyon National Park. The drive actually through the canyon is still closed. Not for snow though, just waiting for Caltrans apparently. They have say over that last 20 miles or so of road into the canyon. Bummer. Still, we saw the General Grant tree and surrounding grove, walked through a fallen Sequoia trunk, checked out what fire scars look like and saw lots of other great scenery. Hiking is definitely not possible over there either because of icy snow. We checked out some of the other campgrounds and it looks like we will need to tent camp or stay outside the park and day trip in when we come again. Tent camping is the way to go here. We definitely need to return. So much of the park is wilderness and accessible only on foot. Been watching for the bears. None today either.
