Today we drove all the way into Yosemite valley and then started our adventure, taking advantage of transit in the valley, especially because it was very warm!
Anna took this photo of the upper falls which we could see from where we parked.
Our first stop was Happy Isles. It was really beautiful and the Merced river was really flowing.
We visited the Nature Center and then headed back to the car for lunch. After lunch we took the bus to the Ahwahnee and went along the trail looking for the Royal Arches. We didn't get a great view (almost too close). It was interesting to see the rocks and the layers!
And a good view of half dome too!
This is the closest I got to the arches.
After getting back to the Ahwahnee we headed to the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center and they had a better photo of what we had been hoping to find. This is the Royal Arches!
The kids also listened to a presentation about the skulls of some of the various animals in the park and why their teeth look the way they do.
As we left for the day I did get a bit more of a photo of the Royal Arches.
And of half dome. I think this is the best photo!
On our way out of the park we stopped at tunnel view and I took a photo of the valley. So breathtaking!
And a better shot of El Capitan!
