We just got back from another successful Yosemite camping trip! We absolutely love it up there! And we thoroughly enjoy taking up as many friends as possible! This year, we had 22 friends with us. :)
Our first full day was devoted to our traditional bike tour of Yosemite Valley - stopping at Mirror Lake for the "rock challenge", and walking up to the base of Yosemite Falls.
Another day was Glacier Point/hike day. The whole gang headed up to Glacier Point for the spectacular view - 9 people drove the cars back down to camp and enjoyed a restful afternoon at camp. While the rest of us hiked back down to camp. We hiked down on the Panorama Trail (or atleast I think that was the name of the trail.) It was amazing ... it was a 9-10 mile hike with a 3,200 ft. elevation change ... and it was just amazing! We hiked in all sorts of variety of terrain - snow, pine needles, rocks, mud, creeks, and the usual - dirt. It even rained/hailed/sleeted on us, while we were at the top of Nevada Falls. Plus, on the hike, we were able to see Yosemite from a whole different point of view. It was definitely my favorite part of our trip!
Every night was great with fellowship time around the campfire. We had great conversations and delicious s'mores every night! :) Plus, those who have been with us before, know we were well feed with yummy meals planned by TADA!
God truly blesses us each and every time we're up there - with great weather, great friends, great safety, and of course, the beauty of being in the midst of His creation.
We are already planning Yosemite '09 - let us know if you are interested in tagging along! :)
