Our schedule allowed for another half day in Yosemite and instead of driving to Glacier Point to see the views we decided to hike the Mirror Lake Trail. It's an easy 2.5 mile trail but activity won over sitting as we'll soon be doing the big drive home and sitting a lot.
Mirror Lake really isn't a lake at all but more of a very large widening of the creek in the spring. In the summer mirror lake is dry.
Mirror Lake is a beautiful spot and it's was too hard to pick my favourite photo so I've included a few.
The creek that creates Mirror Lake.
Mirror Lake from the other side.
This photo really shows the mirror affect.
We stopped at a view point as we were driving out of the park to have one last look at Yosemite Valley.
It would have been nice to have had more time to spend at Yosemite but between the price of accommodations and the crowds we were happy to leave. We didn't tent here as you need to reserve a spot about 6 months ahead.
