Weekend in Yosemite




Last weekend, Dan and Helen journeyed to Yosemite so that Dan could attend an Academic Senate conference at the Ahwahnee Hotel. This hotel is quite beautiful and rustic, built at the park in 1927. We enjoyed the Native American charm of the hotel and loved that fact that Yosemite National Park wasn't very crowded. On Saturday afternoon, Dan and Helen hiked part of the way to Upper Yosemite Falls and were able to view the entire valley floor, with Half Dome in the background. The weather was clear and cold, but very invigorating. It was an outstanding time of the year to explore Yosemite National Park.
