Kings Canyon

Our next big sight was Kings Canyon. It starts with a terrifying walk up a ridge line.

At the top there is a great view of the plain around.

You then walk through these amazing structures that change at different places, some are like beehives, others like wind carvings.

You get these views of the other cliffs with interesting “swiss cheese” erosions.

KingsCanyon4

Depressingly, half way through the walk you come on a deep chasm you need to climb into and then our the other side – at that point of the work, every contour line is precious!

The walk was very unusual because it rained gently thoughout. As Carmel quipped “How many people have seen Kings Canyon in the wet!”

However, Ash did not mind and enjoyed the various shapes to explore

As did I

The most depressing part of the visit though was the diesel prices!
