Our second day in Yosemite we explored the main valley. This is the most famous park of the park. Entering the valley through a mile long tunnel, you exit with the entire valley spread out before you. To the left is El Capitain to the right is Bridalveil falls, on of the largest waterfalls in the world. after a fun picnic lunch Sentinal Beach we headed off to the Yosemite village were Nik and Chris split off to do some sight seeing while Alex, Catie and I set off to do the Mist Trail hike up to Vernal Falls. The hike was amaizing, the last half mile carved into Yosemite Granite with mist from the massive water fall coming down like rain on both the trail and us. Since the daytime temps were 108 degrees, the mist was a welcome relief. Catie and Alex both did a great job on the hike, it was pretty strenuous. They really hung in there and we all had a great time. All five of us met back at Yosemite village for dinner at the lodge. from there we did some more touring of the valley via the Yosemite shuttle system before making the long drive back to Oakhurst. Did I mention that its a long slow drive in and out of the park!?
