Yosemite. What a place. This weekend was pure perfection with hiking, camping and the best group of adventure pals a girl could hope for. We left the city (not so) bright and early on Saturday at 4am and made it to Yosemite as the sky started to take shape and Half Dome was lit up. The best arrival present. We spend the rest of the day driving around Glacier Point Road, exploring the valley and hiking the Mist Trail to Vernal and Nevada falls (a butt burner, but dang worth it for the views). The entire park was the postcard of fall with bright leaves that coated the ground and fell from the sky, it was pure magic. We arrived at camp in darkness on Saturday night, which made waking up on Sunday morning even more wonderful as we had no idea what our surroundings looked like. We spent Sunday relaxing at camp and frolicking around Yosemite Valley searching for climbers high up on rocks. It was my definition of a perfect weekend and left me feeling refreshed physically and mentally.
Here are some pics <3 (musings continued after):
4 pairs of wet sneakers, 3 waterfalls, 5 meadows frolicked, 1 bear, 2 campfires, 1 camp, 4 pals, 1 early morning wake up call, 1000 stairs, 1 pair of purple shorts, 1 plaid shirt, 1 groutfit, 1 trendy outfit and so many laughs and chats later, I am so lucky to call Elizabeth, Jen and Jess pals. These co-ops in SF have brought us all close and our adventures together always leave me refreshed and renewed. I am so thankful that University has brought me experiences like these and friends like them.
