Taft Point - Yosemite

This post is a bit overdue and I have no particularly good excuse as for why, except that I have been canning a bit lately, but I will save those details for another post.

As I have shared previously in this blog, we were fortunate to have many visitors this spring and summer. At the end of July we were pleasantly surprised to find that the parade of visitors from Minnesota was not over. Sean's friend and coworker Vasily and his wife Lily did a whirlwind tour of San Francisco, San Jose, and Yosemite over a long weekend. We were able to meet up with them for a day in the park. We began with breakfast at the Ahwahnee, did a tour of the valley, with a hike to the base of Bridalveil Falls, and a hike to Taft Point, which had been on Sean and my list for quite a while. The views were incredible! And the company was great.

The view from Taft Point is not quite as spectacular as the one from Glacier Point, but one is much closer to the scenery at Taft.
