Last California Camping Trip

Sarah and I took a farewell camping tour through a couple of great areas on Sunday through Tuesday (3 days and 2 nights). We stayed at the Grover Hot Springs campground on the first night and then got up early the next morning to enjoy the pools all by ourselves.



After a long drive down highway 4 over Ebbets Pass (Tioga pass was closed) we made it to Yosemite around 2 PM on Monday to find out that all of the campgrounds were full. We found a campsite just outside the park and then drove back in for some great evening views of the waterfalls and panoramas. The waterfalls are still really spectacular due to the runoff from the wet winter.



Before heading back to Oakland on Tuesday we drove up to the Hetch Hetchy entrance and hiked in 1.3 miles to Lookout Point. We were rewarded with an incredible display of wildflowers along the way and then spectacular views over Hetch Hetchy and the waterfalls that flow into it.
