A Few Days in Yosemite

With the end of summer approaching we wanted to take a few days and visit Yosemite once again. And since we were flexible in our dates, we were able to get a campsite in the newly renovates Tuolumne Meadows Campground, which had re-opened only a couple of weeks before.

It's nice to have it back in operation!

And while we were at it, we took a backpacking permit for Yosemite Creek--a quiet hike that doesn't get much attention, and leads from the Yosemite Creek picnic area on Tioga Pass road all the way down past Yosemite Falls to Yosemite Valley.

We didn't hike that far. We just hiked down about half way, and then sat down and made ourselves comfortable along the creek. I fished a little bit for small rainbows and one nicer brown trout, M read her book, and we enjoyed being out in the wilderness away from people and phones. We saw a total of seven people in two days, all of them on the first day, hiking out as we hiked in.

And the next day, we packed up and hiked back out, seemingly refreshed from our adventure.

There are magical juniper trees along this route, so most of our photos are of them.
