Laura & I had the good fortune to spend three fine days in Yosemite with our German exchange teacher, Ellen along with fellow colleagues Julie & Jill. The large snowstorm from the previous Monday gave us plenty of snow on which to snowshoe near Crane Flat, but the warm temps allowed us to do so in T-shirts. Friday we took advantage of perfect weather once again as we admired the views at Hetch Hetchy. The water flowing off the valley's surrounding cliffs put on a dazzling spring show and I even managed to catch several brown trout in the reservoir. The wildflowers were still several weeks off from blooming, but carpets of red moss and green grasses went stunningly well with the blue sky. The drive back to Curry Village from Hetch Hetchy provided us two amazing bear sightings, several coyote sightings and a few deer as well. We closed the three days by visiting lower Chilnualna Falls where Ellen and I caught a glimpse of a bobcat near the foot trail's junction with the stock trail. One could not ask for a better three days in Yosemite! |
