Day 2: June 20, Monday: We drove
up to the Wawona Tunnel view point. From
here, we could get the classic view of the whole valley in its grand splendor. El Capitan
stood guard over the western end of the valley.
Rising 3593 feet from the valley floor, it is the largest monolith of
granite in the world. We could also see
the Half Dome, Sentinel Rock, Cathedral rocks and Bridalveil fall. From the Tunnel view point, we went on to
hike the Inspirational trail. On this
10-mile round trip trail, we enjoyed more spectacular views of the above points
of interest. Overheated from the hike,
we sought refuge at the base of Bridalveil fall (620 feet drop of water) where strong
spray of mist cooled us off in no time.
