The day after our impromptu family tour at Sacramento we head to Yosemite; again for another day trip.
Yosemite Valley has been inhabited for nearly 3,000 years, although humans may have first visited the area as long as 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. The indigenous natives called themselves the Ahwahnechee, meaning “dwellers in Ahwahnee.” (cont.)
The California Gold Rush in the mid-19th century dramatically increased travel by European-Americans in the area, causing competition for resources between the regional Paiute and Miwok and the miners and hangers on. (cont.)

It being a day trip, we made the best of our limited time and took in a much of the sights as we can. Sure, I with we could have stayed a few more nights, even maybe camp, but not this time.
There are still quite a lot of areas good for day trips and pray for another opportunity to visit and stay longer. I did.
