Leaving Death Valley by the west exit required us to go over two mountain passes, while still in the park. After leaving the park, we drove up the eastern side of the Sierra, which are still snow covered. We have been talking about the Tioga Pass and the crowds at Yosemite, to a point that we are not even sure we want to go. We finally decide that the pass is doable and if we get to the park late, we will avoid the crowds. It all worked! The pass was really nothing compared to some of the places we have been, and it was easy to get around the park. The campground is pretty tight, but we have nice spot that is pretty private, and with a little finagling, we got the front end of the RV off the road. What’s really nice is the campsite is at the trailhead to Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls.
We have been to Yosemite several times...the exact number has been another point of discussion, but we have never been here in the spring, when the waterfalls are at their peak.

With a moderate bike ride, we got to lodge for a bowl of chili at the bar. Because this is a two day stop, we spent the second day hiking to the falls. We decided to take the Mist trail, two seconds of thoughtful contemplation would have allowed us to understand why they would name a trail “The Mist Trail” especially at the height of the spring run off. It was clear day, and we dried off rather quickly. For our second evening, we had a bowl of asparagus soup at the bar.
