We spent one day hiking to May Lake in the center of Yosemite. What was listed as a moderately difficult 2.4 mile hike, was actually a 6 mile hike due to the road being gated from Tioga Road! Ugh! The guys were at least relieved to have a little window of cell signal for the walk along the road. It's tough not having cell service for 10 days!
We found a cool stream with multiple cascading waterfalls along the road, a spot we would not have been able to enjoy if we'd driven past here to the trailhead.
As we neared the trailhead, we found the reason it was still closed. Snow and ice remained in patches.
Finally we made it to the trailhead, where we found this welcome sight, a small mirror lake. Our real hike would now begin.
Once we climbed high enough to see Half Dome in the distance, we knew the lake wouldn't be much farther.
May Lake is really beautiful with snow around it and dusting the mountains.
Daddy and the kids had a contest to see who could keep their feet in the ice cold water longest. Daddy won!
