Kyle and I headed into Yosemite nice and early so we could catch our tour bus up to Glacier Point. I am really glad we were riding in a bus and not driving up the road ourselves. We both thought the tour would be boring, but it turned out to be very informative. After driving an hour and a half, we finally arrived at our ultimate goal, Glacier Point. We took the tour to get up to the top of the trail. We left our car parked at the bottom. There were 50 people on the tour and half of them did the same thing.
We picked out the Panorama Trail to do. It is 8.5 miles, mostly downhill. But don't let that fool you. It was relatively easy until the last few miles. We had to go down lots of steep granite stairs, some with just a railing seperating you and the steep waterfalls and sharp rocks.
It was amazing and worth every second. We got amazing views of every area of Yosemite. It was a well traveled path but we still felt like the only people up there. We even met a new friend. We know you are not supposed to feed the animals, but this little guy was helping himself. He climbed in our bag and all over Kyle's feet and legs. It was really funny.
We took a well deserved break and stuck our feet in the river. This was by far the most amazing hike we have ever taken. And yes, we did buy some poles. Best $40 we spent.
The beginning....
