Steep grade on sites

We stayed here in July 2012 on our summer road trip out west. This was one of many campgrounds in Sequoia N.p. It was primitive but we were allowed to run the generator certain hours in our loop. We barely fit on the site and had to use some crazy leveling techniques to get us set up. The landscape here is beautiful with many pines and sequoias as well as granite boulders scattered everywhere. There are water stations and dump stations nearby. We were told to be very careful not to leave any food outside our RV unless it was locked in the "bear box" provided at our site. We were a little afraid to let the boys play outside unattended with those kinds of warnings. Our visit here was to visit the Giant Sequoias nearby and hike hike hike. We had to tell the boys that we were going for a walk because they had grown weary of hiking already on our 2nd month into our trip. We visited General Sherman, the famous giant Sequoia tree and also hiked 4 miles to Muir Grove. It was very cool and shady along the way which I was thankful for. The forest was filled with many beautiful flowers but we didn't see any bears or mountain lions. The boys had a great time collecting sticks and playing swords, etc. along the way. It was an amazing hike and I was glad to get some fresh air and exercise. Photos cannot do justice for the magnificent trees. They are unique to this area of the country and are amazing to view, touch, crawl through and climb on.
