Another hit it and beat it trip into the park. We got up early and were though the gates pretty early. I did get an admonition from the Park Ranger at the gate for not verifying when we came in on Tuesday. My excuse was there were no forms to fill out to certify us or even people at the gate when wen through.
This time we took the Dowager Empress up to Glacier Point. We were one of the first groups there. And, yes, it was spectacular. The Dowager Empress was overwhelmed and had another breathing incident that was cured once we found tQ with the DE's inhaler. But other than that, it was beautiful. We didn't go any hikes. We just milled around taking photos and admiring the views.
I had hoped to stop at Wawona Hotel for lunch but that is shut down for a year for renovation. The Glacier Point Road was supposed to be closed for a year as well this year to make improvements to the road, but I guess that plan has been delayed by the pandemic.
I might have to rethink my rule about not going to the park between Memorial Day and Labor Day to avoid the crowds. There weren't many people in the park because we went in early in the day. And it's been a long time since I saw the park that green. I usually go in late fall or winter when the park isn't that lush. It was really beautiful to see the park in that state.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
