The Kaweah River slowly meanders through summertime boulders and over tiny pebbles at Camp Lodgepole in beautiful Sequoia National Park. The scene dramatically changes as you begin to hike upstream. The boulders grow to giant granite slabs ‚ the pebbles become river rocks rolled into neatly formed bars by the springtime currents. Falls, Cascades and Rapids amplify the steep slopes above the campsite. These diagonal contours present an exciting departure from the predictable flat landscapes lower down.
