After viewing so many trees, it was time for hiking!
For the last activity of the day, we hiked up to the top of Big Baldy in Kings Canyon National Park -- a distance of about 2.5 miles each way, and a 600 ft climb. With the ups-and-downs of the trail, it was probably closer to 1000 ft of total uphill work. (And the downhill route required about 300 ft of climbing.)

| The objective of our hike -- the top of Big Baldy offers 360° views. |
 |
| The views kept on getting better as we went up the trail. The summit of Big Baldy is on the left. |
 |
| We made it! |
 |
| The view was amazing, but dizzying. |
 |
| I didn’t want to get too close to the edge! |

| Some of the granite rocks were blood-red. They really stood out among the dusty yellows and grays. |
