No reservations to enter Yosemite National Park? No problem...
There is plenty to see and do outside the park. We drove up Lee Vining Canyon and hiked up to an abandoned silver mine around 10,000 ft. We were greeted by thunder and lightning and got soaked in a downpour (helpful for the firefighters, I suppose). Afterwards we retreated down to Mono Lake and the sun came out, a welcome development which we took full advantage of.
In the picture you can see the Mono Craters, North America's youngest mountain range. It looks like a fascinating area. I've never seen it up close. Next trip perhaps...
