We drove for about an hour from Evergreen Lodge today into
Yosemite Park itself and to Yosemite Village to explore. It was quite an exciting drive with the hood
of the Mustang down and the temperature getting quite low as we got up to more
than 6,000ft altitude. We made numerous
stops to see (and photograph) the quite stunning views along the way including the famous half-dome.
Once in the village we had lunch and looked
at the visitors’ centre and a short film about the area. We walked along to the base of Yosemite Falls
to see quite a spectacular sight. Later
we drive along to Camp Curry and decided to walk to the Vernal Falls. We quickly realised that the walk would have
taken longer than the daylight we had left so had to turn back only some of the
way up.
We came back to Evergreen Lodge in time to see a beautiful
sunset and also to have a dip in the lovely pool and hot tub onsite. I’ve never been in a hot tub you can swim
lengths in before!
We had another dinner at Evergreen, ready for departing
tomorrow back to the coast to stay at Monterey for a couple of nights.
