We left Yosemite Valley today to soak up some sun in El Portal and still do some hiking. We chose the ForRasta Road, hiking from one shantytown to another: El Portal to Foresta. Parking the car, and walking up the road past all the houses with some dogs following us was the beginning. A couple hours later and 2300' of elevation brought us to some more houses and the point to turn around after passing a couple of cascades and waterfalls that are flowing beautifully from the winter storm two days ago. It was glorious to be in a t-shirt and tennis shoes again enjoying gorgeous late April weather in January. Today was a 12 mile day, leaving only 784 miles to go this year. Enjoy the two postcards above.

It is strange to be out in summer clothes near the end of January . . .Enjoy and keep hiking.
