Yosemite campground reservations are hard to get. The block of 30 days is released 3 months out – so to camp in the second portion of July I needed to be on the phone or online at 7am March 15. They go very fast – by the time I got in at 8:30 I was only able to secure a single night on the valley floor – the ultimate spot to stay. I reserved a spot near the west entrance at Crane Flat for the 2nd night, but then – the night before we were to depart, I checked again and was able to get another night at the last minute in a valley campground!

Do you see the old hag or the beautiful woman on the side of Half Dome? We took a few photos to make it easier to outline
We elected to not bring food into the valley this year. We simply didn’t want to deal with the bear box, and we also were able to avoid packing all that kitchen stuff! Instead, we splurged and had breakfast in the Ahwahnee dining room. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was served with tomato and spinach and was absolutely delicious. The service as fantastic and everything was top notch.
