Lunch at 8,000 feet

We chose a random hike to do in Sequoia National Park and ended up with this view at the top.  We had a great panoramic of valleys, rocks, trees, fog and snow cap mountains, all within our 360 degree vista.  The whole hike smelled like walking inside a christmas tree farm.  The air was so crisp and refreshing.  Snow littered many parts of the hike, but the temperatures cooperated with our day of exploring.  We are fortunate to have these opportunities to spend in our new backyard.  We hit sunset on the 8,000 foot descent back through the fog line.  I couldn't help to think how blessed we are to have eyes built to appreciate His creation.  No other animal on the planet could look at these sights and see beauty.
