Yosemite

1 April 2010

Our day in Yosemite started sunny but as time went on clouds rolled in and when we got back to the hotel it had started raining.

We first drove up to Tunnel Point which gives the classic Yosemite view but we didn’t like all the coach parties there so we continued upwards on a two hour walk to Inspiration Point. We were the first party up there since the snow of the previous day so we were walking through 6” of fresh powder for a lot of the way. The walk was very enjoyable with magnificent views most of the time.

Our next stop was at Yosemite Falls at 2,445 feet, the fifth highest in the world.

We finished the day by walking around Mirror Lake which is right underneath Half Dome, the other major mountain in the area. The lake is created by a natural dam formed by a rock fall.
