We got up early the next morning to try to make it to Yosemite before it got too busy. We were going on a Tuesday so we hoped it wasn't too bad.
We came through the tunnel and there was plenty of room at the Tunnel View parking lot! We stopped to admire the view and take pictures. The sun hadn't been up there long and so it was in our eyes.

Luckily, we found parking easily. We got on the shuttle bus with our backpacks full of food and water and started to ride along. We would get out and look at the sites and do some of the shorter hikes.

We rode around to the Mirror Lake trail. Supposedly, you would get the best views of Half Dome from here. We did the hike to Mirror Lake and then back to the shuttle stop.

Half Dome. We figured there were tiny little people up there climbing the side and we just couldn't see them!
It was a long hike and people were getting tired. We had gotten up much earlier than normal too.

After we rode the bus around and saw most of the main stops, we headed up to Tioga Pass. As we were leaving, we noticed there was no where to park. Good thing we did get there early!
