Mineral Valley, Sequoia N. P. - a photo on Flickriver

            After turning off of Highway 198 outside of Three Rivers, we drove another 20 miles on Mineral King Rd. until we got to the end of the road.  The road was rough and bumpy in areas, but the view was worth it.  I walked a short distance up the trail from the parking lot and you get an amazing view of the valley.  The trail keeps going to a couple of lakes and the pass at the end of the valley.  

This area was on Disney's radar to become a ski resort, but the massive amount of snow that they get here some years slowed down the development.  It became a moot point when the government incorporated this valley into the Sequoia N. P.  If you can handle driving on windy mountain roads, this area is a nice area to explore.
