The next day I decided to do the Hart Tree Trail, which is a modest hike of 8 miles through a forest with huge trees. This time not the trail itself but the drive to the trailhead was a challenge - an extremely narrow unprepared street - I was really lucky that no one came the other direction. After about 1 mile into the trail, I wanted to take a picture of Cindy, and I realized that she wasn't with me! This was when I gave up the thought of a relaxing hike and ran back to the car. I mean, loosing a watch as the day before is one thing, but loosing your personal protection dog... I was relieved when I found Cindy next to the car sitting on a bear container.
The trail went through the forest without much elevation difference. Along the way, there were so many big trees that I became rather used to the sight. Below you can see me and Cindy standing in front of one of them.
The following tree formed a tunnel, the trail went right through it...
Finally I arrived at the Hart Tree, one of the biggest trees in the Sequoia national park. You can see that it is heavily damaged by fire. Cindy found it convenient sitting in the tree...
After 10 miles of hiking, I was ready for my 5 hour drive back to San Jose. To add also some additional cultural experiences, I had dinner at a Mc Donald's. All of the employees were speaking Spanish and it took 15 minutes until I could get my meal despite the fact that I was nearly alone in the restaurant.
