Yosemite Valley

I thought I'd try one last time to get the bike into the valley...









































The road up to the park gates follows the raging Merced. At the Ranger's station, I was
lucky enough to run into this kindly fellow, who strongly cautioned me before, unbelievably,
allowing me to pass.










































The road was as slick as oil,

































but beastie and I made it through!




























I was glad she got to see some of the beautiful granite formations.









The valley in winter...exquisite natural beauty.




At this point on the road, I had to ride with my feet out, so poor was the traction.




After a while, the novelty wore off, so I turned around and headed out of the park...


































...in search of some sticky pavement.
