Where did the Schanker’s go this weekend...Yosemite NP! (Our favorite outdoor playground). Talk about one of the most beautiful places on earth. Most of the time we visit in the summer for hiking and camping, but this time we decided winter would be a nice time to see the park. Unfortunately with the low snow levels we’ve had this year it wasn’t as expected. But it was still beautiful as the waterfalls have started and the rivers are flowing. The upper elevations were also still snow covered. In fact on Sunday we drove to badger Pass and went cross country skiing. The skiing was easier than we expected and we really enjoyed it. Neither of had ever done cross country and I’m sure we’ll do it again, It was just nice to be out in the snow.
On Saturday we hiked around Mirror Lake and the Valley Floor shooting lots of photos. I got some pretty good shots so check smugmug soon.
On Saturday night we watched the sunset lighting reflect off of Half Dome (again shooting lots of photos) and then headed to dinner at Yosemite Lodge. After dinner we enjoyed a pint of beer at the lounge, and then headed back to the cabin. Now its back to the weekly grind.
Rest of the weekend photos:
