well, ok, so its not that much snow - but they closed Tioga Road through the Park (so no Bishop bouldering - down to Bakersfield instead). Unfortunately for me, because of downed trees, they had to close my (the Hwy 120) entrance, so I had to go out-and-down-and-around to get into the Park via Hwy 140:
It was 34 and snowing as I left, but it was 54 and sunny once I got out of the National Park/National Forest area
Back in the park, I saw a deer with antlers (I saw two other deer today also). The clearing storm made the place iconic:
I hiked (3 miles round trip) up to Inspiration Point. WOW:
kind of reminds me of someone else's photograph:
Ansel Adams - Clearing Winter Storm
and as I left Yosemite, a rainbow came out
Because of the extra time I spent in Yosemite, I had to drive an hour in the dark down to Bakersfield - don't worry, it WAS WORTH IT!!!!
Thank you thank you God for a beautiful Yosemite trip!
