Our lunch spot and furthest point on the creek
Okay, so today we are staying in the south valley of Yosemite, just outside the south gate entrance at the Tenaya Lodge. After talking with the concierge we decided to forgo the mountain biking and hike to Chilnualna Falls. What was suppose to be a 8.4 mile hike with 2,300 feet in elevation gain, and a 7 out of 10 for difficulty turned into a 5 mile hike with unknown elevation gain and many fallen trees and no detectable trail, but, an amazing portion of the Chilnualna creek was incredibly enjoyable. We possibly only saw 8 - 10 other people on the trail all day. We feasted on goat cheese and smoked salmon, which we shared with the cutter ants that we found on the rocks near the creek.
