Swallows at Kings Canyon



Yosemite may get the lion's share of the tourist attention in Central California, but that park can get so crowded that you may wind up just doing a drive-by as you vainly search for a place to pull over and park. Much less claustrophobic, and with some magnificent mountain scenery to boot, are the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Located in the southern Sierra Nevada and east of the San Joaquin Valley, the two parks are contiguous and run as one by the National Park Service.


Passing over the Carson River and pausing to take a photo, we spotted swallows' nests tucked underneath the overpass.
