Day 6 - 3rd August - Kings Canyon (Part 2)
Then, ahead of us was a very narrow passthrough with no path.


Doesn't this look like a scene from a movie where planes or spacecraft chase each other narrow canyons?


Panorama


Without the plants this could still pass for the background of a dogfighting scene. The rocks were like miniature versions of the big rock formations in them.



Crowd at canyon wall. If I'd shouted "fire!" or "wildebeest stampede!" maybe some would've jumped.

There was an optional sidetrip, which we took.
