Day Seven

Indian Grinding Rock SHP to Yosemite National Park

Woke up sappy eyed after a stormy nights sleep. Admired the Chaw’se Museum, wow what a history, beautiful and devastating. Joined the sunshine as we headed south to Yosemite! Climbed the tallest and windiest road we have ever taken and almost didn’t make it, thanks for the short cut, Siri 😉 Left the tree scattered hill sides to be enveloped in a mountainous landscape. Turned a corner along a cliff to be blown away by views Yosemite Valley, Half Dome perched perfectly, waiting for us to explore it. Several stops to view the glory later we descended into Yosemite Valley, graciously welcomed by none other than El Capitan and several jaw dropping water falls. Found a sweet little spot to camp. Wandered along the river and into a meadow to watch the sunset on the flat face of Half Dome. After dark we searched for our camp but ended up stopping in at the Lounge room of a resort to warm up and catch the last quarter of the basketball championship finals. Eventually found our site, made dinner and fell asleep with smiles of excitement and anticipation for the next day!
