Day Seven: Yosemite


On Thursday morning we said our goodbye's to Laren, Sheilla and Keiko and hit the road for Yosemite. We arrived at the park around early afternoon and had plenty of time to see some of the beauty surrounding us. It was so incredible to see all these rock formations, waterfalls and GIANT trees up close. The largest tree we saw was the Grizzly Giant and one of the arms was over 7ft in circumference. That arm was bigger then all the other non Redwood trees in the area. We ended up spending the entire day in the park and still didn't see everything we wanted to, so we will definitely be going back to camp and see the rest of the sights. When we left the park we started our drive toward Dixie's house.
We made it!

The Half Dome is the one in the middle.
