We were much better prepared for today with layers of clothes, a time schedule for avoiding long waits and a plan to avoid the construction for the remainder of our park visit. We left Lemon Cove at 6:15 AM so we could go through at 8:00 AM. We took a three hour hike to Moro Rock, a dome overlooking the park. The final stretch was 400 steps up to the top where you see Tom in the picture above. We then walked through the forest to a meadow. We met a group of Eagle Scouts who were packing 82 miles which included a climb of Mt Whitney. (14,000 feet) You can't just "go" to Mt Whitney, you have to hike in, taking your everything. After lunch we drove into King's Canyon to check things out, made reservations to stay at John Muir Lodge and we were back at Wukachi Lodge for a nap and dinner. Unfortunately, it is very cloudy - maybe tomorrow will be better.
