Yosemite Valley at Yosemite National Park

I’m keeping my words short and sweet with this post. We got up REALLY early and headed to Yosemite, FINALLY! We loaded up the bikes and hit the road. We were both grateful we had the bikes. We would not have seen nearly the amount of things we did if we had just parked and walked. We got there about 7-7:30 a.m. and the parking in Yosemite Valley was already getting crowded. We found a spot, jumped on the bikes, and started taking in the beauty of Yosemite Valley. We got back to the truck about 11:30 and the parking lots were overflowing, cars were parked in places they shouldn’t have been, and the crowds were thick. It was time for us to head out. I can’t wait to go back and explore other parts of the park. This was just a tiny portion, and an incredible portion it was!

The 4th of July was coming up and we were revisiting Hidden View and giving A Thousand Trails a second try. We had our fingers crossed that we would like this campground better than the last (they are free).
