Day 7&8 Yosemite - Tioga Road and Biking Yosemite Valley

We drove Tioga Road to hike Lembert Dome.  We got on the wrong trail and we ended up going to Dog Lake instead.  No Lembert Dome for us!  Maybe next visit.  There are a lot of popular, nice hikes from Tioga Road.

Climbers on Lembert Dome

We rode our bikes around Yosemite Valley the following day.  It was really nice to tour the valley on bike.  We went to Curry Village (hantavirus city), Mirror Lake, Chapel, LeConte Memorial Lodge, Ahwahnee Lodge (rooms start at $460/night), and Ansel Adams Gallery.  It was very enjoyable.   Ahwahnee's Great Lodge was used in the Shining.  It was neat to tour the lodge's lobby areas.

Proposed sight for Yosemite Falls
