Well there aren't that many places in the world where one can drive a couple of hours to be at the coast one weekend- in lovely high 60's temps and clear sunny skies- and then the next weekend drive a couple of hours east instead and get to the mountains and snow-in a National park full of sequoia trees-for some cross country ski-ing! But you can in California and in order to mark ourselves as Californians we did it too!
This was the first time for the Durham family on cross country skis and was enjoyed by all members of the family!Maya and Sage took to it quickly and wanted to find all the hills to go down...we looked for ones that didn't head into a giant sequoia tree!
Connie and John from the MFA dept here at Cal State took us up there as they have a wee cabin in King's Canyon...they supplied all the gear (they have a wonderful collection of skis and boots that they have acquired over the years) and a cozy warm spot to get warmed up and eat lunch.
