Long Weekend: Yosemite Day 2

Though Day 1 of our trip seeped into Day 2, once Day 2 "officially" began after we set up our campsite, it was a good, relaxing one.

Once we had our camp set up, we read a little bit (me: The Omnivore's Dilemma, Mr.: The Living), and then took our blanket to the meadow and took a nap. Napping in the middle of Tuolumne Meadows is awesome.

The meadows around Elizabeth Lake.

The last thing we did, before dinner and sleep, was take a short (approx 5 miles roundtrip) hike up to Elizabeth Lake. It was only about 600 feet of elevation change, so while it was uphill, it wasn't too bad of a climb. When we reached the meadow and stream approaching the lake, it was beautiful. Except it was also full of mossies! The mosquitoes were out in full force, and after Mr. TPG dipped his feet in the lake and we shot a few pictures, we scrambled out of there as fast as we could.

Elizabeth Lake - still had patches of snow!

After a dinner of noodle soup and a campfire, our incredibly long Day 2 ended.
