We were staying in a town called Bishop hoping to check in early to our motel as it was on the way to Yosemite National Park. We were out of luck and so headed further up the freeway to Mono Lake, just outside of Yosemite. We had our picnic lunch overlooking the lake which was very impressive. After hearing from a ranger the National Park village was another two hour drive we decided to just check out the nearest part of the park (you pay for a 7 day pass). The lakes there were amazingly blue and the mountains looked stunning too. After many photo stops we turned back to drive back to the town. We decided on an easy dinner at Dennys.
We had another night booked at the motel so instead of a three hour drive to the National Park village, we decided to have lunch at Mammoth Lakes which was closer. Those lakes were just as picturesque. We had a chilled out day before heading to yosemite the following day.
The drive to Yosemite was lovely with good views and nice scenery. The park has a shuttle bus to drive everyone around as the park is so massive. We started off by wandering to the waterfall. We then headed East to see some more waterfalls and hike a nature trail. We got a little lost and ended up on an island in the middle of the river. The mirror lake was another trail we decided to walk and that was nice too. To finish off the day, we watched sunset from a secluded bit of the park. We then headed to our next motel in a town called Jamestown, ready for our next adventure!
