We decided to see the lesser visited portion of Yosemite National Park from our stay in Bridgeport. It turned out to be a pretty long day, but I'm glad we did it. Otherwise, we would've visited this area while driving through with the RV, and we wouldn't have been able to explore as much. Wow...this is one picturesque park, and since this part is less visited, it wasn't crowded! We drove up Tioga Pass and down Tioga road to Olmstead Point and then worked our way back. We lounged on the rocks at Tenaya Lake, just basking in the warmth of the sunshine, looking for pictures in the clouds, and taking in the view. The temp was in the 40s, but in the sunshine, it was perfect! We picnicked on the beach at Tenaya Lake; the wind had picked up, and it was kind of chilly, but you can't beat the view. Before calling it a day, we hiked the Pothole Dome trail, following it back to the river. It had gotten cooler, so we all wore hats. Jake had never seen us in hats before that he remembered, and he kept staring at us and giggling!
