On September 5th, I traveled all the way from Sacramento to Yosemite. It's not that long of a ride, but when you only had four hours of sleep, it gets to you. I woke up at midnight and immediately left. By the time we got to Yosemite, it was about 5AM and I was dead. The car ride was really cold because my dad needed to keep awake to drive and I couldn't sleep well in my annoying car chair. Though the ride was painful, the view and silence was so peaceful. We stopped at Tunnel View and the sunrise was amazing. The sun landed right in the middle and it was breathtaking in person. I think the most disappointing things I saw during the trip was how dried up Mirror Lake was (California drought is obviously the cause and just shows how much we need to get out of this mess we are in) and some pollution in the air. I wouldn't expect to see pollution in a national park and it was just surprising to me. It just shows that we need to reduce car driving in the park and maybe start taking the hybrid buses Yosemite offers to tourists (FOR FREE) or walk/hike everywhere. It would be better for your health and the environment around you.
