This post represents another installment in the series documenting our West Coast National Parks trip in the summer of 2017. Alan and I, along with our 18 year old daughter, Kyra, logged a total of 8,513 memorable miles of adventure over the course of five and a half weeks during the months of July and August.
The three of us rolled out of bed early on Day #15 of our five week expedition, determined to fit as much sightseeing as possible into our day. This would be our last visit to Yosemite Valley; the following day, we’d be exploring Tuolumne Meadow and the Tioga Pass area of the Park. The first stop of the day was planned with “crowd avoidance” in mind. We wanted an opportunity for a clear shot at one of Yosemite’s most iconic images, and we knew that the earlier we arrived the better our chances would be. If you read my last post, and spent some time considering what this location might be, you’re about to find out whether or not you guessed correctly.
