Watchtower Trail
Hiked on August 27, 2022
HKN retreat took us to Sequoia National Park this semester, allowing me to fit another hike into my otherwise busy schedule. Gilbert, Michael, Vikas, Will, and I set out around 2 PM on the roughly 9-mile hike. I had been to Sequoia National Park before when I was really young and I had mainly seen the trees at the time and so I didn’t know that Sequoia was very well-known for its grandiose granite formations as well. After an initial relaxed ascent through a wooded landscape, we emerged on a rocky outcrop and were presented with a breathtaking view of the sharp, jutting granite. The remainder of the hike was spent along a high ridge, giving us a fantastic view of the valley. At the end, we even saw a bear!
