Day - 7, Big trees and Snow

We were still limping from the big hike but time waits for no one. We decided to go to see the big trees at Mariposa Grove. The plan was to take advantage of the tram tour and enjoy the giant sequoias.



The Clothespin Tree.



The Grizzly Giant. The biggest tree in the grove. When we first came here almost 30 years ago you could walk right up to the tree and touch it.



Diane in the California Tunnel Tree. They are very big trees. I always enjoy seeing them.



Here is a nice picture from Wawona Tunnel. A classic view of Yosemite Valley. Now for the drive to Lee Vining. We were very curious. The road had only been open for a week after record snow late this winter. What would it look like on one of our favorite drives.



IT didn't take long before we were in the snow. But it was in patches. Here is Alex above a patch of snow at Olmstead Point. Alex loves Olmstead point.



Bart, Diane, and the back side of Half Dome.



Tuolumne meadows was more like Lake Tuolumne.



No fishing at Tioga Lake this trip and Saddlebag lake is right out.
