Our next stop was lunch in Yosemite Village and then we walked the paved trail to Lower Yosemite Falls. Then we rode across the meadow, over swinging bridge, and back to Half Dome Village where we returned our bikes (probably a 7 mile bike ride in total).
Then we drove to Mariposa Grove which was right by the entrance to the park where we saw our first Sequoias. We walked about 3 miles of trail to see some of the 500 Sequoias in the grove. We saw the Fallen Monarch as we entered the grove and then hiked on to the Grizzly Giant which is an 1800 year old tree and the largest in Yosemite. Finally, we made a stop at the California Tunnel Tree for a family photo.
