It was cold last night. The temperatures often dip into the low 30's here at this time of year. Fortunately we have a great furnace, but unfortunately we were low on propane and therefore didn't have it turned up as high as we would have liked. One of the first things we did this morning was to fill the propane tank!
Yosemite National Park consists of about 1200 square miles of wilderness, meadows, giant forests, enormous granite peaks and waterfalls. There are many scenic stops on the way to Yosemite Valley, and along with many others, we stopped frequently, took tons of picture, walked some of the trails and visited all the displays. We didn't do any serious hiking as we didn't have all the necessary equipment. The waterfalls in Yosemite are spectacular and due to lots of rain and snow this past winter the streams are full. As far as wildlife is concerned, we didn't see any bear but we did see deer, chipmunks and lots of birds.As we left Yosemite we found ourselves comparing it to the other two National Parks that we visited; Joshua Tree and Sequoia. We both agreed that so far Joshua Tree is our favorite with Sequoia coming in second. Yosemite is amazing, but, in our opinion, just not as amazing as the other two we have visited.
We continued north and landed in Sacramento at around 5:30. We chose another KOA as we find them to be very well laid out, extremely clean and secure.
Tomorrow we will head for the last "must see" on our list: The Redwood Forest, fully aware that we will be leaving the warm temperatures and entering the 60 degree zone!
