So, after deciding not to put the rain flys on our tents last night it decided to rain for the first time during the whole trek. It wasn’t a massive downpour, in British terms it would be called a light drizzle, but thing did get wet! Which made packing up camp a pretty soggy job.
We left Bishop at about 8am and headed to Yosemite. This was one of the places I was most looking forward to going to during the trek, so I was super excited. We stopped at a viewing point, Tunnel View, before heading to Tenaya Lake. It is a really calm looking lake surrounded by a forest – Tunnel View and Tenaya Lake were the first green I had seen since leaving San Diego. It was a stark contrast to the dryness and desert landscape of Death Valley and the Grand Canyon. We stayed for a little while to play some frisbee and volleyball, and to eat lunch. We then went to another viewing point (Olmsted Point) which provided some pretty spectacular views and photo opportunities, before travelling just outside of the National Park to Yosemite Lakes Campground.
