THE SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK 15 can mysteries, the disagreeable elements which he may encounter in the automobile trip from Visalia to the Gianr Forest in Sequoia National Park will be ameliorated by the pleasant recollection of his repast. The road to the Giant Forest, after crossing the plain, strikes the Kaweah River and follows up the Little Val- ley and Canyon to the junction of the Middle and North Forks.
