Yosemite

Lake view with kayakers

The last part of our October weekend trip was the journey home via Yosemite (Tioga Pass). We got the gamut of weather there which ranged from low, gray clouds with snow on the mountains to rain/drizzle to partial sun.  I think we spent approximately 5 hours driving along to the stunning scenery with lots of stops along the way. :)

Olmstead Point in Yosemite

There is just so much to see and we still saw lots of tents/campers taking their camping trips before winter. I lost track of the all the lakes, creeks etc we saw but Olmstead Point was memorable. We stopped to take pictures and the boys even climbed down to the lower area.

On the other side of the lookout, there is a trail to another area and Tyler opted out. That's why he is not in the next photos. The path is just rock which still had lots of snow is places which made the walk a tad treacherous but we kept going.

The view was totally worth the hike.

Onwards we go toward Bridalveil Falls and the valley. By then, it began raining and the falls adds it own spray to my pictures. There was no way I could avoid the spray/rain but that just adds to our experience! :)

By the middle of the afternoon, the kids and I were just tired of being in the car and the road started getting winding that always gets to Tyler. That part was the least enjoyable but it certainly was a great time.
