We went to the southwest entrance of Yosemite for our first visit to this park. We hope to go back several times since there is so much to see. I tired to get a campground in the park, but in order to do so you have to be logged into the reservation website right at 7 am PST and hope your "book now" click goes through before the other thousands of people also trying to get the site. It is crazy how much in advance you have to get reservations for camping here in California. We ended up in a nice campground just outside of the park called Summerdale.
We discovered a nice mountain lake called Bass Lake. It was surrounded by pines, yet it was amazingly warm. We did not have our swimsuits with so we just got into the water with our shorts. Soon we were surrounded by geese and ducks.
We entered the park and took a shuttle bus to the Mariposa Grove. The trees are similar to the giant redwoods that can be seen in a very specific strips of land that run south to north in California. The redwoods like a particular temperature and elevation and grow to be very old.
