Most people visit Yosemite and spend their trip in the Valley. Some make it to Glacier Point Road, and drive their car to the end. I realized last year that I’ve traveled this road 5 different ways (including by car), which is pretty unique.

Yesterday on Earth Day, I posted a photo to Instagram of one of my favorite places, Moose Lake. That reminded me…I’ve had “finish writing Moose Lake backpacking trip review” on my to-do list for a loooong time. It’s been almost 3 years.
