I didn't think any cars could drive in without special plates. They have a few spots and John got us in right before the shuttles start. No cars after that. Another hike where the early start got us half a hike in before running into people. The lighting for pics was kind of a trade off. Wanted to see the big trees for awhile. Nice touristy hike to finish off a great Yosemite trip. Good times! Thanks John and Kelly, like HAZ, you rock!

Amazing trees. Once you break free of the crowds this is a nice loop with few others around once the elevation begins.

On our way into the park, we made a quick detour over to the Mariposa Grove. Cheryl and I spent an hour or so exploring the area. The trees were very impressive! We saw the major sites...Bachelor and Three Graces, The Grizzly Giant and Tunnel Tree. This is a great area and you can see most of it within an hour or two.
