Violet and Cora had a long weekend and Violet was anxious to get back to the mountains, so we planned a quick trip to Yosemite. Cora had to stay behind for rehearsals, so it was Stace, me and Violet on this trip. We were able to leave around lunch Friday, and got settled into our tent cabin that evening.
On Saturday morning, we got started on the hike to Vernal Falls and the Mist Trail to Emerald Pool.
It's a hard hike for me, since I'm not really a hiker. Violet and I love our nature walks, but we're not going uphill to this extent. My calves were so sore later! Definitely a great accomplishment to reach our goal, though, and many memories made.
This is the bridge with a view of Vernal Falls - so pretty.
Last time we were here, the falls were much more full, and we got quite wet on the Mist Trail. This time, we only had a bit of mist when the wind blew.
When we reached the Emerald Pool, we stopped for a lunch break. This squirrel wanted us to share.
This group of college kids from UC Berkeley was having so much fun, sliding on the smooth granite into the pool.
Another squirrel, eating acorns, like he should.
Violet was in her element!
