We didn’t need to travel too far for a hike that had fall color and room for Sally to run. Many times we don’t think of this jewel that has Giant Sequoias groves, picnic tables, and many trails to explore. This time of the year, the dogwoods were putting on a show for us.

We took a short hike over a pretty easy trail to see some giant cracks in the granite then headed on to experience amazing view as we topped off at Sentinel Dome.

We did some road hunting for fall color on Glacier Point Road and wanted to share some pictures of those beautiful dogwoods.

We were very curious what those fall colors were up to in Yosemite Valley, so we took a little drive to see how they were shaping up. It was also worth taking that little hike to explore along the Merced River where we were rewarded with gorgeous reflections in the river. Parking at the Ahwahnee Hotel, we hiked up the ...

My mom and I were on the second of a 4-day adventure at Rock Creek Lake, just south of Mammoth Lakes on the eastern side of the Sierra. We headed separate directions for the day. I took off for a hike to Dorothy Lake and Mom took a hike up Rock Creek. (Read Part One here).
