Yosemite Day 2

We woke up and headed towards Glacier Point. Katie still wasn't feeling well from her cold, so we decided to try an easy hike to Taft Point. After an hour and a half drive into the park, we started our hike to find that we needed to cross a river about a quarter-mile into the hike which would not be very easy. Around that same time, Katie also felt like passing out, so we decided to go back to the car instead.

We drove up to Glacier Point where there were fantastic views of Half Dome and Yosemite Valley. We learned on the drive up there that Yosemite is the smoggiest National Park, which made sense based on the amount of haze in the air yesterday and today. That's quite unfortunate since I was hoping to get some clear shots, but maybe that isn't something that will happen on this trip.

After checking out Glacier Point, we headed to Yosemite Valley to do the Lower Yosemite Falls loop. This was a nice flat walk that we brought our lunch on and ate along the path after seeing the falls. It was a nice Picnic that kept with the spirit of the trip even though Katie wasn't feeling well.

In the afternoon we drove to Inner Sanctum Cellars and Tap Room where we had some wine and beer relaxing on the patio before heading back to our Airbnb where I cooked dinner and we relaxed for the remainder of the night.
