     Moon Rising over Clouds Rest - Yosemite

During a Yosewmite  workshop  in February 2020,  our  fearless leader  walked  us out  onto  a  nearby ledge  a  little

away over  from  what is kmown  as the Tunnel View overlooking  Yosemite Valley.  As  the  sun set behind,  the  full

moon  rose  over  snow  capped  peaks i n  spectacular fashion.

​

It  was  just  awesome!  With  the  sharp  contrasts  of dark  rocks, defiant  trees, and  clinging  snow fields  the  burnt

orange glow gave  the i mpression  that  we  were  on  the  moon watching  our  planet  earth  rising.  We spent a few

hours watching  the moon  continue  to cross  over the Yosemite Valley and were just in awe of  this  beautiful

scene unfolding in front of  us  and were  reminded  of  how small  we  felt  at  that  moment.  A  moment  that we  all

will never forget.

The Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias offers one of Yosemite's most awe-inspiring experiences, where nearly 500 mature sequoias rise rom the forest floor.  Located just four miles from Tenaya at Yosemite, the grove is easily within reach, yet feels worlds away.  Access begins near the South Entrance, where guests can seasonally board a shuttle to the lower grove, or hike approximately two miles from the parking area for a more immersive approach year-roound.
