October Vacation, Part III: Bicycling & Tioga Pass

Bicycling in Yosemite
Sunday, October 5, 2008

One of my favorite things to do in Yosemite is to rent bikes and tour the valley floor. It's a marvelous way to get around and see Yosemite from many perspectives.


I'm clearly enjoying myself.



Looking pensive, on a snack break.



We came close to many kinds of wildlife, including this mule deer.

Tioga Pass
Monday, October 6, 2008


We left Yosemite on Monday, heading toward Graeagle, by way of Tioga Pass. Long and windy, but gorgeous.


Alex is getting good at taking our picture.



me.



A random couple offered to take our picture by this pretty lake along Tioga Pass.



Victory!

(and, yes, that is snow)

Also in !955 I camped At Lake Tenaya

ON the Tioga Pass----you can't camp
there anymore---and in that eary period there was a glacier at the top of the Pass---global warming wiped it
out !
