Under the Half Dome sky

A view of Yosemite Falls in the late autumn when it is running very dry.

Above is a photo of our first trip to Yosemite National Park. Several years have passed since this trip. Since moving up to the Bay area, we have looked for the opportunity to visit Yosemite, again, but the timing has never quite worked out. With fire seasons and now Covid, we continue to be stymied.

Greg and I standing 'inside' the giant fireplace of the Ahwahnee Hotel.

The Ahwahnee Hotel is located in the majestic, jaw-dropping main valley inside Yosemite Park near the base of Half Dome and Glacier Point. This hotel, built-in 1927 is a National Historic Landmark Link

We spent a couple of nights in the tent cabins at Camp Curry, now known as Curry Village.

Located right below Half Dome and Glacier Point, Curry Village is the largest lodging facility in Yosemite National Park. Formerly known as “Camp Curry” as it was often called, Curry Village is the perfect place for families to eat, sleep and recuperate before heading back out to explore Yosemite National Park. Link

A short hike off the road takes us up to Bridalveil Fall just in time for the sunset. Link
