SKP Park of the Sierras
Coarsegold, California
We spent the last four days at this park and have really enjoyed our stay. We drove up to Yosemite several days and enjoyed the cooler temps in the mountains.
I have always heard so much about Yosemite but after living in Colorado, it really wasn't much different.
I was going to go out on this rock to get a better photo, but I was polite and let these young men go instead.
Half Dome
The waterfalls and streams were very low.
Yosemite Valley
El Capitan
This trip we traveled along the western slope of the Sierras and hope to see the eastern section of the mountains on another trip.
Tenaya Lake
Coarsegold is a very small town but has lots of attractions including an historic townsite, museums, farmers market, craft fairs, parks and an annual Tarantula Festival. I can't tell you how disappointed I was that we didn't time it right to attend the festival. I have also been very carefully watching every step I take in anticipation of meeting up with one of the creatures.
I know they were remodeling the casino the last I heard but they had great prime rib dinners when we were there for $7.77. If they are open now, give them a try.
ReplyDeleteThe casino is closed. There has been a lot of in fighting in that tribe and one evening an armed group of men from one faction stormed the casino to take it over. The government closed it downed officially the next day. I don't know when or if it will reopen but there is also the problem of the missing 45 million dollars.
