Kimbo was a conference at the Tenaya... so I begrudgingly went...jk
Yosemite is the reason I moved to Cali, so I try to go whenever the opportunity presents itself, and I try to force that presentation. Especially if lodging has been taken care of, which is often the crux.
Fri - cruising the valley with Kai and Nikko
This was the
highlight.... plus I got to squeeze in an 18 mile day while exhausting the boys.
 |
| started the day off with a pic at Tunnel View |
 |
| And a quick stop at Swinging Bridge |
 |
| I love cruising/jogging around the Valley, especially on a weekday in the offseason. |
 |
| I threatened Nikko that if he mis-behaved he'd be tossed in that cage. |
 |
| Half dome and balancing Kai... he's actually quite high up. 10 ft? |
 |
| This is at Mirror Lake. This is in the fall, so there's no water. |
 |
| The boys and Half Dome! |
 |
| moving on... |
 |
| Chocolate Milk break! |
 |
| The hiking portion of the day. Up to Nevada Falls... |
 |
| Trail building art... |
 |
| Top of Vernal |
 |
| more "wild"life |
 |
| Back at the village. Kai would ride with the camelback while I ran. The boys eating their well deserved popsicle after the 5 mile hike |
 |
| nice fall colors |
 |
| Sentinel |
 |
| Nudy Booty time |
Day 2 - Sugar Pine Railroad/Nelder Grove/Tenaya Pool
 |
| started the day at the near by Sugar Pine Rail Road |
 |
| Takes you out to a place to hike around and picnic, then cruises back. Probably worth it until they are like 5. |
 |
After the train ride, we "mtn biked" to Corlieu Falls.

 |
| Nikko struggling... |
 |
| a decent spot... but with Yosemite near by, I'm sure not many folks come here. |
 |
| And there was MUD! |
 |
| after I got the kids de-mudded... we went further down the road to Nelder Grove. |

 |
| the shenanigans continued at Tenaya Lodge |
 |
| the boys loved the pool |
 |
| and boy oh boy were they tired! |
Sun - Day 3 - Mariposa Grove with Kimbo/Pleasanton Bike Park
https://www.strava.com/activities/1920012742
 |
| They had just re-finished Mariposa grove. They did a great job and it was a very different feel compared to Nelder Grove. |
 |
| ID-ing pine cones |
 |
| Banzai! |
 |
| Yup... that's a big one. |
 |
| Now you know why they are called the "faithful couple" |
 |
| The boys are great car nappers. A fact that I absolutely love... |
 |
| On the way home stopped at the Pleasanton BMX park. |
