Ryan and I got to explore a little bit around Yosemite over the weekend, which was a nice change of pace for a couple of days. We didn't have a lot of time but we got to do an 11 mile hike that gave us an incredible view of the valley. It was the Yosemite Lower/Upper falls hike, and then we just hiked up even more until we got to the best view. When we first went into the valley I wasn't sure if this was the place for me because it is really a place for rock climbers, but we found the hikes after a few minutes of searching. Ryan actually did some climbing and it was his first time ever climbing outdoors.
A bonus aspect of going to Yosemite in October is getting to see the changing leaves. It was beautiful.
