Hiking Up The Steep Rocky Slopes Of Marble Ridge To Crystal Caves

Crystal Caves is an elaborate treasure of spectacular Marble, streams filled with Quartz, and winter waterfalls frozen and filled to overflowing with dainty  ice cycles.  The caves and the surrounding area is filled with the treasures of nature. This is the home of magnificent diversity.  Here you will find enormous rugged mountains with rugged foothills spilling over to deep canyons. This is a year around California treasure that is waiting to be explored. 

Crystal Caves is only one part of the vast and beautiful Sequoia National Park. Crystal Caves is an underground treasure, while the ground above is home to some of the most magnificent old growth Sequoia Trees, a vast network of trails, and as a bonus, you will find in park lodging. It is also home to the General Sherman Tree which towers over this gigantic Old Growth Forest.

Stay safe is it a guided tour

Thanks @rebeccabe no we camped, hiked, climbed and drove to all of the locations for almost a week.

How i miss the days when i used to go camping. Lately, the only nature i get is watering my cactus plant.

@flashfiction, it is never too late too embark on a new journey in life.

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I hope someday to blessed with some travel adventures.

Your welcome @thebluedoor.

ohhh my God what a beautiful park it is!!! Its really amazing to see.... thanks man for sharing this with us....

Your welcome @sujanbarus1.

This National Park is awesome!!, i also will write some post from my last year trip :D

Wonderful blog-post! Really enjoy your content.

@exploretraveler It's a natural one that that make a gorgeous trees ever, all like as matching with you.

Glad you enjoyed @mohsin01.

@exploretraveler Yeah really enjoyed, thanks.

Wow, seeing your post really makes me miss living in NC. The redwoods are so amazing its just people need to do more to protect places like this from disappearing.

I went to a similar crystal cave in Tasmania and it was really beautiful, thanks for sharing!👏🏻

Your welcome @midnightviola.

Amazing nature, I love going inside cable and discovering them! Looks like you had a great time there

It was a marvelous adventure @peterveronika.

Our National Parks really offer peace, tranquility, and bring harmony to ourselves. When life gets stressful there is no better way to relieve stress than spending some time with nature's beauty. Great photographs. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us.

Couldn't agree more. I've visited Yosemite National Park and Olympic National Park so far and these pictures might've moved the Sequoia National Park up the list for our next excursion.

From my limited experience, I just find that each park has something different to offer visitors and makes each one that much more enjoyable.

Glad you enjoyed @jcpadams.

Your welcome @rwade102409.

Mother nature is the best artist ever.

I always get excited when I see your posts. Hiking is my passion also. Love your photos. Keep it up👌

Thank you @drawesome24.

To explore is what I cherish (smiles)

Buen imagen amigo.

Thank you @edwuadr.

Thank you friend

Gracias amigo.

hermosas fotos, me transporto con la imaginación al lugar descrito. Es relajante estar en un lugar así, parado al lado de este arbol. Ley algo sobre el que me llamó la atención. Su sistema de raíces subterráneas la secoya tiene una red plana de raíces que puede abarcar entre una hectárea y una hectárea y media. Este enorme sistema de raíces y por eso tiene un anclaje muy sólido, incluso en caso de inundaciones y fuertes vientos. Una secoya hasta puede soportar un fuerte terremoto.
toda la naturaleza habla de lo impresionantemente inteligente que es el creador; para muestra un botón: La impresionante sequoia.

Thank you for reading @nellita66.

Thank you for reading @murazriksi91.

I love it!

Thank you @occupywallets.

Wow OMG that Giant Sequoia --General Sherman!

I really prefer the sequoias over the caves... xD

Who here agrees with me?

Glad you enjoyed @dialsamai.

Very much! Those are a blessing of a tree! Good that you have them and appreciate them so much. Come to think of it, the spirit of it resembles the relationship Sindarin/Silvan Elves had with Mallorn Trees in The Lord of the Rings... 😇🙏🌲🌳

This is awesome! I'm actually headed there this weekend. Thank you for the share, i'll have to check out the caves

Enjoy your weekend @smcp.

I have never seen gigant trees.....I hope some day :-)

They are wonderful to see @arx27.

I would go bananas if I was there taking pictures !!! Very freaking cool !!!

Glad you enjoyed @iglivision.

Hey awesome pictures! Looks like a fun trip.

Thank you @zach107warnock.

Amazing! I was just down in Mexico and saw a relative of the redwood called El Tule. Huge tree as well. Looked like a cross between a redwood and a gnarly oak. Love me some trees!

Glad you enjoyed @naturalworld.

Glad you enjoyed @munirpriawan.

Very nice place

Thank you @mountaindo.

I don't get how people can go exploring in caves without fearing thee unknown. I mean don't people remember that dragons be hiding in there man? Besides that great photos of everything else cause I could see myself camping out there. I wonder what the super moon looked like from there.

Check out my super moon catch from NYC: https://steemit.com/photography/@antoniowestley/my-super-moon-shot-from-nyc

The caves in the North are pretty tame and safe @antoniowestley.

Gotta love the Sequoia outdoors. Everyone should at least get away city-life and enjoy mother nature.

Our team would agree @kevvy.

Thank you

you hikers are really brave....

We are not brave @joeycrack, we just love the journey.

God, I have got to visit here! Looks like an amazing place

Sequoias are special trees, alright! There are a lot of them planted in the region where I live in Oregon's Willamette Valley. They are getting big now. Folks wonder how well they will survive this far out of their natural region. But they are such stalwarts over the ages. Those trees in Sequoia National Park have seen so many different conditions over the ages.

I love the views, i want to go those iconic places

Beautiful place. Thanks

sadly I will only see such beauty through the internet, but at least I will see them, thanks so much

wow this looks so beautful , love the caves so fun exploring such amazing nature

I wonder if the size of a tree or plant in a geographical area has anything to do with the Earth’s kundalini. California seems like it has a nice geomagnetic frequency.
