#springitinerary Kings Canyon in spring is a hidden treasure! The rivers and waterfalls were gushing with snowmelt, and the lower canyon trails were open and bursting with life. I hiked through blooming dogwoods and lush meadows, surrounded by towering cliffs and granite domes. There were hardly any people — just me, nature, and the sound of rushing water. Zumwalt Meadow was especially peaceful, framed by snowcapped peaks. #springitinerary tip: combine with a trip to Sequoia, but give Kings its own time — it’s quieter and equally epic. A raw, untouched slice of spring wilderness.

Our yearly trip to China Peak was a success this year. Even our beautiful dog Nala enjoyed the snow. It was our first time spending New Year's here, and I can honestly say it was absolutely beautiful. The fireworks show was amazing. 🌨❄️🏂☃️ #travel #resorts #snowmountain #chinapeak #californiatravel #californiasnow

[Fresno Blossom Trial in Sixty Miles] In the large village of Fresno in Central California, there are 60 kinds of fruit trees. Every spring and February, the flowers will continue. Blooming. Longing for the boundless flower sea, I finally went to the weekend without rain. On the first day, you can wear summer clothes. But the flowers are sparse and farther apart than we think. The apricot flower is full of screens, the peach blossoms are sparse and pitiful, the most lovely is the orange forest, and the fruits of the land are super-children. Because Fresno is driving for three hours from my village, I simply stayed there for one night before going home. The next day, it suddenly changed from summer to winter, and the rainy morning was even colder. The apricot flower forest was blown down by the rain, so the secret base we found became a winter world. Super super beautiful, from time to time a gust of wind will blow the petals snow. Although the apricot flower does not have the pink color of the cherry blossoms, there is no one in the flower garden here! We took more than a thousand films and laughed as if we were crazy. I went to the Blossom Trial twice, and the car opened for ten or twenty minutes. After I came to see the map, I found that I didn't even spend 1/10 of the Huahualin. It was really a big area. Party who wants to see flowers can go to the official website to refer to the flowering period.
