Sequoia National Park

 Sequoia National Park is called the "Land of the Giants". It is a park with a lots of very very tall Sequoia trees. They are the world's largest trees. Some of them fell over time.  There is a tree that fell around the 1920s and the park rangers made a big hole in the middle because it was blocking the road. It is so big that now people go through that tunnel with their cars. There is even the biggest tree in the world called the Sherman tree. Did you know that they are buses that go around the park. There are four parts of the national park that's why they are buses. There is a national park called Kings Canyon that is connected to Sequoia national park. Here are some pictures of Sequoia national park. See the picture where we drove our car under the fallen tree trunk.
