Perfect sunny weather really set the tone for enjoying Yosemite. Staying at the Blackberry Inn also enhanced our stay with hosts Steve and Alex making sure every detail was covered. It was the Colombus celebration weekend and lots of people were in the park doing every imaginable activity and because the weather leading up to this weekend had been wet, the waterfalls, which are normally only a dribble at this time of the year, were really flowing. Quite a sight - but best of all was that view from Glacier Point. It was colossal! All around, granite domes and outcrops, waterfalls and the valley floor way below. Very powerful stuff compelling you to return another day just to see if was all true.
We enjoyed lunch in the garden at the Awahnee Hotel right below Galcier Point. It was warm and sunny and families readied themselves for various treks. It was great to be surrounded by so much healthy activitiy. And as we were leaving late in the afternoon, visitors everywhere were preparing for the sunset with cameras set and an air of expectation that something memorable was about to occur. And it did not disappoint!
