Day 18 7/14/2014

---

Headed out for Yosemite, first stop Mariposa Grove. All parking full, so will try this again earlier tomorrow. Headed for Glacier Point, the most popular area of Yosemite. We were able to see Half-Dome, and looked down on Yosemite Valley. Now for the long slow trek back to the main road. All of the attractions in Yosemite are very spread out, and roads are no fun to drive. After driving through Yosemite Village, no parking close enough for us to shop or find anything to eat, so we headed back out, but not without stopping to view El Capitan. We left the park through Arch Rock Entrance on hwy 140 to drive back to Oakhurst through Merced even though it is further it turned out to be much faster than returning through Wawona and the South Entrance.
