Day 12 - Glacier Point, Giant Sequoia Grove & Sierra Sky Ranch Inn







Day 12 - We woke exactly on time and got out of camper earlier than planned (My gosh teenagers can wake up early!). We had a short drive to Glacier Point in Yosemite. This is the most amazing views of Yosemite you can imagine. Imagine being 7200 feet over the valley at a lookout point looking straight down. Well our campers don't need to imagine they were there today. Yes the grumbled about the short 2 min walk on paved road but they made it again. After we dragged ourselves away from the views we drove down to Mariposa grove to see some of the world's largest things - Giant Sequoias. Yes the .8 mile walk was tortorous for some but yet again we arrived with no major injures or exhaust related falatities (they way they talked you would have believed taht at least one would be dead before we got to the trees!). We saw the grizzly giant and the California tunnel tree where they cut a tunnel in the tree. After the the Sequoia Grove we had a very short drive to our hotel for the night (yes I said hotel, yeah real showers!). We stayed in the historical Sierra Sky Ranch Inner, enjoyed dinner at the Mountain House and ended the night with the pool and a little, much missed, TV. Tomorrow we are facing the Airport!
