Sign - Sequoia National Park — Attraction in Exeter

The entrance to the Sequoia National Park is epic and you must stop to take a picture. I have been coming to Sequoia National Park since I was a young kid and over the last 20 years I have pictures of the sign from then til now. They always take time and renew and paint it so it is in great condition. For a while the elements took a hold of it, but it was still iconic to get the family picture on it. This trip we brought a new friend up here from Miami and he certainly enjoyed it.

The weather was sunny, but there was still a lot of snow on the ground once you got up to higher elevations. There are many spots where you can pull out on your way to some of the bigger sites.

This 80-year-old sign kind of jars today. I appreciate the new information board next to it telling its history and addressing some of issues that make it uncomfortable for some folks. "Neither profile, however, bears any resemblance to Sequoyah or to the people of the California tribes who call these lands home and whose ancestors lived in these lands for thousands of years. The profile shows a stereotype of an American Indian from a tribe of the Great Plains". I think it's time for it to go...
