Kings Canyon

Kings Canyon at Sunset

Equipped with new beannie, Paul drove us the 450 kms from Alice to the Kings Canyon we had heard so much about.  At first we hesitantly admitted to each other that maybe it wasn't really worth the drive.  Sure, it was beautiful but that was a long way to go.  However the next day we went on the full walk where we endured the 500 steep steps to the top of the canyon and walked around the rim.  It was then that we accepted the hype.  It was like we were on another planet, the photos below don't do it any justice - they are just a few that took my fancy. 

Garden of Eden

The Lost City

We spent two nights at the Kings Canyon Resort, a lovely park, plenty for the kids to do including 'the Roadies' a family orientated band that we went along to on the first night (Paul and I couldn't do it twice).  Emma enjoyed getting on stage but not surprisingly Ben remained seated with us, the three of us avoiding eye contact so we were not called up.
