The Road Trip 2012: Yosemite Day 3&4

Day 3 we woke up sore and stiff from our hike to Yosemite Falls. We already had plans to drive an hour to Mariposa Grove to see the Giant Sequoias, an easy day of walking around. Clouds had rolled in and we had a light drizzle all day.

Giant Sequoias are different from most trees. The elements from fire and burning forests help them grow and thrive. The state of California plans burns in the sequoias every few years to help maintain them and help them grow. Some of these trees are more than 2,000 years old.

Day four was another quiet day. We were still mildly sore but it had rained buckets over night and continued to rain all day long. We took comfort at Curry Village in the lounge and tried to keep our spot by the fire place saved but everyone else in Yosemite had the same idea as us on a rainy day. W played cards and a few board games and decided that we would be wasting our day if we waited for the rain to stop. We made it a touristy Yosemite Valley day and checked out the town.  

Meditation Point

Anawahee Lodge. You can stay here starting at $220/night if you wanna.

I sat here for a while. Can I have this in my house? 

After the lodge we checked out town. They also have a reasonably priced grocery store.
