we packed up our camp at crane flat early and hit the road into yosemite valley
parked at the tunnel and hiked up to inspiration point on the pohono trail
extremely smoky this day, limiting views
a good hike anyway
next hit the very short trail to bridal veil fall
still flowing due to abundance of snow this year
made one stop across from el capitan and walked down to the river
we saw a doe with two fawns and a very nice view of el cap
parked at yosemite valley lodge where we would be staying the next two nights
did the easy loop to lower yosemite fall, also flowing well
jumped on the shuttle to mirror lake trailhead
there were a lot of gnats on this hike but we did the full loop anyway
back on the shuttle for lunch at the grill in the village, then checked into the lodge
ended up going back out to tunnel view close to sunset
photo ops were much better with less smoke
fun day doing most of the easy valley hikes
totally touristy for our first visit to the park
this was kind of a plan b since glacier point road was closed due to fire

Today was a day for plan B. Glacier Point Road was closed due to the fire crews staging there. We hit a some easier stuff in the valley instead. This was the most smoke haze we had seen so far. The morning Views of the Yosemite Valley were bad. Other views we got to see like the falls and such were not as bad. For sure better then the pics let on... It was nice to see some of the Yosemite Valley landmarks for the first time. We noticed the smoke easing up and gave Tunnel View another chance before sunset at it was a lot better. It was nice to look around in the valley and take it a little easier before tomorrows bigger hike.

Figured it was the touristy thing to do on our way from wawona to Yosemite valley that we stop and check this out.
The bridalveil fall however was more of a trickle in July. In fact it was really only visible when the wind picked up and there would be a mist coming off the top.

Saw the sights at Yosemite. Did a hike around the Sequoias in the Mariposa Grove, walked around down by the Merced River and around Yosemite Village, also did the short walks to Glacier Point and Bridalveil Falls. Everything was awesome, yet saw just a fraction of what I would've liked to see. Can't wait to go back!

This is a short easy trail to Bridalveil Fall. Once you get to the end of the trail you could rock hop up closer to the bottom of the falls. The breeze was catching the falls and giving the appearance of being more than it was. Another beautiful site in Yosemite.

Didn't get as wet as we did on the Mist trail but it felt great on a warm spring day.
