Without a doubt, Yosemite Valley is an awe inspiring place. I packed up camp up in Toulumne before 6:00 am and headed down into the valley to attempt to get a spot at the famed Camp 4. It is in the registry of historic places for its contributions to rock climbing. I was able to get a great spot for the next couple nights. I could see Yosemite falls and El Capitan from just outside my tent. I shared the site with 4 other great people. We had two really fun nights sharing the adventures of the day around the campfire.
Unfortunately the snow melt was almost done, so the falls were pretty tame, but I took a few cool hikes, the best one was probably up the mist trail.
Without a doubt, the most spectacular experience thus far was the drive up to glacier point. There were incredible views of the glacier carved valley below. I sat up there for almost two hours in complete silence, just trying to breathe in and capture as much of it as I could.
It was brutally hot down in the valley, so before heading to San Fancisco, I decided to go for a swim in the Merced river. Not a bad view while cooling off.
On to San Fran to go see about a girl.
