Can't believe summer is already over... well almost over for me - I still have one more week before my kids are back in school. We just spent last week in Yosemite. If you live in the Bay Area or anywhere in California and are thinking about making a trek out to Yosemite, I highly recommend it. Even with the fires going on - it is still an awesome and relaxing place. We were there during the small avalanche near the Awahnee hotel. We saw the area in the granite cliffs behind the Awahnee that cracked off. It did not hurt anyone, and one rock hit one car. Too be cautious they evacuated the hotel to be sure that a larger rock fall wasn't going to happen. That was not as exciting as the number of bears running around. 11 car break-ins during the week we were there and every night we heard the evening flare guns going off to scare the bears away.
We took the girls on hikes to Vernal Falls, rode bikes to various 'hidden' spots along the Merced River, took a two hour tour of the park in an open air bus and learned some interesting stuff about the parks evolution.
Here is a binder on more information on Yosemite. It has a tab for reservations, skiing in the winter and a web cam tab so you can check out 'live' shots of the park.
