August 11, 2011


Rented bikes today to explore the Yosemite Valley. Biking is a much better way to see the valley than driving in a car, as there are a lot of people here also enjoying the park. I am thrilled that there are so many people visiting the national park, but this is insane! There are people and cars everywhere, darting around. Biking away from the masses seems to be most enjoyable. Spent time at the Happy Isles area, hiked at Mirror Lake, and ate at the Yosemite Village for lunch. Kids swam this afternoon – the views of the granite cliffs from the pool were fabulous. This evening we ventured out for one more bike ride. Saw deer close to the road and a bear and cub along a river area. Viewing from the bridge was a comfortable distance.
