Description

An excellent stretch of the legs:

Up from the bottom of Yosemite Valley to Glacier point via the Four Mile trail
Down Glacier Point to Illilouette Fall via the Panorama Trail
Up from Illilouette Fall to the John Muir Trail
Down via John Muir to Happy Isle

We took the shuttle from Happy Isle to Camp 4 / Yosemite Falls and crossed over the meadow back to the Four Mile trail parking…

Yosemite is really pretty with 1 inch of fresh snow!
