Yosemite Part II: The Seeker

We were just about to eat our normal of peanut butter on wheat bread and maybe some scrambled eggs when our situation was greatly improved. Our California friends invited us over to their camp site to share breakfast with them. They were claimed to have an overflow of breakfast meats, a situation that required the assistance of a couple of willing, empty to stomachs. We were happy to help and were graciously treated to an extremely satiating meal complete with the first hot camp site coffee we've had in quite some time.

After reluctantly bidding farewell to our new friends, we got in the car to seek out our first point of interest. We hiked to the bottom of the Lower Yosemite Falls. From there we could also see the Upper Falls - which is higher than Niagra Falls - and had an overall spectacular view.

Our second falls of the day was Bridalveil Falls. It was a smaller yet more interactive waterfall. By that I mean we were able to get much closer to it. We climbed some wet slippery rocks to get some good photos and also to serve as a bad example to all of the kids around the falls.

With our clothes wet from the mist of the falls, we drove towards Glacier Point. Glacier Point offered a great view of many of the rock formations around Yosemite including the famed Half Dome.

From Glacier Point we head towards San Francisco and all of its hilly glory.
