Yosemite - Little Yosemite Valley Camp, past thousands of tourists, to Yosemite Valley and the CAR (day 4)

They say all's well that ends well.  Sadly, day 4 of our trip was probably my least favorite because we had to walk really far down hill (about 2000 feet in elevation) amidst throngs of tourists.  And it was a Friday, not even a weekend.  However, we did get to see the most dramatic waterfalls that day, it makes sense that where we walked are the most popular spots!

There were deer in and out of our campground all night and morning.  I'm finally getting used to seeing the mule deer with the huge ears that live out West...my first sighting of them was in the Grand Canyon and they looked so weird to me then!

On the road again
The first of several lovely huge waterfalls that we saw.

The path was lovely
Several photos of the waterfall...I couldn't decide which one was best.  Neither could B, we had about 30 photos from this spot and one three steps further.




Now this waterfall does not mess around.  Please notice the people standing next to it!
Waterfall was still going when we got down to the bottom


I think we actually walked a little further than this because we didn't take the fastest route down, but it was right around 27.3 miles.
B and H's battle scars.  Guess which one is H's foot!  Sorry I don't have a foot in the photo, I am still yet to get a blister from my hiking boots!  I can't recommend Asolo boots enough!

That's all, folks!
