Yosemite in December

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”
― John Muir

Mr. Muir had it so right. Two days in Yosemite was healing for body and soul. We biked, hiked and just took in all the good vibes of nature. We enjoyed brisk cool days with no snow.

The best thing about the park was how empty it was. Oh there was a line to check in and we saw people at the eating spots, but the roads were pretty empty, the shuttles were empty, and it was strange walking around a closed and quiet Curry Village. We saw maybe 10 people on he trails around Mirror Lake.

Lesson learned: Those back country roads that are so enjoyable in the fresh morning sunshine, become treacherous and scary in the late dark of night. I missed one turn off three times finally counting on the gps to tell us 500 ft, 200 ft....recalculating!
