My husband and I took a short 5 day anniversary road trip. We found a bed and breakfast place located in Ponderosa (Sequoia National Park). We stayed at the Mountain Top B & B for the entire trip. We enjoyed getting to know both Dee and Curtis. Now, Dee can whip up a splendid breakfast and you will certainly feel full.
We originally were going to visit the Trail of Hundred Giants as well as drive up to where we spent a vacation further north. Instead, we chose to stay close and check out the local hiking and waterfall spots. I can tell you that I was extremely tired after doing 2 hikes in one day on a very hot day. We also visited Dome Rock. The first hike was to the Nobe Young Falls and the other one was to Peppermint Falls. The following day was just a day to lounge around and you can be certain that we really needed it. We used this time to get to know both Dee and Curtis. On our third day (our 39th wedding anniversary), we spent hiking to see the Stagg Tree (The Stagg tree is a giant sequoia, that is about 3,000 years old and located in Alder Creek). We also spent our anniversary getting to know the people and town of Camp Nelson, but had a nice dinner at the local tavern in Ponderosa. They treated my husband and I to a apple crisp (yummy).
