"It was my first time up in the Sequoias and probably one of the clearest Milky Way I have ever seen.

My boyfriend and I had heard about a meteor shower happening in the next view days so we knew the sky would be beautiful. We stayed up late enough to see the Milky Way come out from behind the mountain and it was well worth the wait."

Camping on the Kern River
