The Yosemite Room at Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispro was a splurge night and totally awesome. A cave room with fireplace, rock shower/waterfall and rock sink, floors, walls – everywhere a rock – gave us a taste of what Yosemite National Park might be like. Or so we thought!
Yosemite covers 747,956 acres if you can even fathom the size of it! Sheer granite walls, high meadows, crashing creeks, tunneled roads, soaring cliffs, and most of all those plunging waterfalls took our breath away. Every moment another “wow!” The Yosemite Falls (2,425 feet high! - the second highest in the world) and Bridalveil Falls attracted people like flies to honey. And we could see why! Bridalveil poured over the cliff in a flat pattern like a veil and moved with the wind in the most wonderful dance.
Campsites were booked 6 months in advance so we were lucky to find the last one at 12 noon for the night at a site 30 miles out of the park!
Our second day there was our favourite if you can believe it. We took “the road less travelled” through the upper areas of the park and before you knew it we could throw snowballs at each other! More crashing waterfalls, lots of deer, we even saw a bear. And those mountains and cliffs – Madonna Inn was nice, but there’s nothing like the real thing!
