Sequoia National Forest (Part 16) - Sequoia & King's Canyon NP (2014)

I recently took a trip to Sequoia and King's Canyon National Park (the two parks are connected). I had a great time photographing many scenery and enjoying the beauty of nature both inside the two national parks and out in Sequoia National Forest. Through this chain of blog posts, I will be showing photos of natural scenery, mountains, meadows, forests, wildlife, and the wonderful trees of the parks. I will also be giving some travel advice into the park as I know some of you viewers are probably looking at this to try to plan a trip to the parks. In these parks, is one of the world's largest species of trees, the Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum). I will also have a few photos of the world's most massive tree the General Sherman Tree in blog posts to come. I hope you enjoy viewing this chain of blog posts!

Trees provide us with oxygen while taking carbon dioxide out of the air. That is why we shouldn't cut them down. If you agree with me please tell me below. And below here are some pictures of the wonderful forests that keeps us alive. :)
树除了把二氧化碳从空气里拿掉，它还给我们氧气。这就是为什么我们不应该把它们砍下来。要是你跟我想的一样的话请你在底下告诉我一下。着地下是一些帮我们活者的树林照片。:)
