Jeff & the girls' spring breaks only overlapped for one day so we headed off to Yosemite. We've been meaning to go for several years and we finally took the opportunity. Weather was nice enough during the day despite it being Spring.
We stayed at Curry Village in a tent cabin. It is rustic looking BUT it was heated and the bathrooms were not far and were heated too! The heat was needed as the nights got to be pretty cold.
No food is allowed in the cabin due to bears so all food had to be placed in the bear lockers outside the front door. The park is really serious about bears. As you are checking in there is a video playing showing how easily a bear can rip your car door off in order to get your food!
Our first day in Yosemite we took a bus tour of Yosemite Valley. It was a good way for us to see what was there and then decide what hikes we wanted to do later.
El Capitan
Bridal Veil Falls?
Frazle ice at the bottom of Lower Falls
Our last day we rented bikes and biked along the Valley floor. That was interesting. I enjoyed the ride but I didn't end up seeing much and I took no pictures. We were pretty much dodging other hikers and bikers on the bike path. I was proud of Robyn as she's a new biker and she kept up with us with the minimal amt of crying. :)
I would love to go back again. We saw only a portion of the park. Next time maybe we will go when it is warmer!
