We pulled into a camping close to the south entrance of Yosemite, and spent the night there. When we checked in we had a chat with the people that worked at the camping. We got the information that the park had been closed all day due to the weather conditions, but with some luck the weather would be warmer the next day and the park open.
We were delighted to see a blue sky in the morning, and even more happy to find the park and most roads open.
We spent two full days, and a night in the park and loved every minute of it! It is sooo beautiful!! We would have loved to stay for longer time for hiking.
Also in Yosemite there are gigantic sequoia trees. In Mariposa Grove you can find the most majestic.This one, that Anne gives a hug, is not one of the biggest - but big enough to impress.
Bears are common in Yosemite. We woke up during the night - a lot of noise created by bears trying to get into trashbins. We also heard a couple of shots during the night, but were assured that it was rubber bullets aimed to sting and scare away bears from the camping areas.
