Family Weekend 2006

 

Four families joined us for our annual WildLink Family Weekend from November 3-5. Yosemite graced our weekend with a full mantle of autumn color. Activities included a private screening of the film The Spirit of Yosemite, a day of guided hiking and independent exploration in Yosemite Valley, and a campfire under the stars. Read on to hear the participants' highlights of the weekend.

I enjoyed the beauty of Emerald pond. The glassy surface was like a mirror, that reflected the awesome wild outdoors.

I really enjoyed the views we saw on the Vernal Falls hike, but most of all, I appreciate the work that was put into this weekend. Mandy and Peter’s work is very much appreciated!

One of my favorite sites of the Yosemite national park was the half Dome. Even though this is my second time here at Yosemite, and visited Half Dome before, I never realized the Face of the Woman crying. Finding it today was an experience in itself.

I thought that happy isles was a very enchanting place, especially where the water began to turn a deep blue color before the first bridge.

The museum was very interesting. I got to see how weaved baskets looked that were made many years ago.

My favorite part was the village. It was just amazing.

I loved the squirrels!!!! I also liked climbing on the big, big, big rocks!!!!

The view was grand, the hike was great, the fellowship was wonderful, I’m so glad Yosemite is in Cal state.

I loved Yosemite, beautiful view!! It makes me come to enjoy this camp next year, too!!

I like it, Go Wild!

This hike was so fantastic! The views were breathtakingly beautiful and it was fun to have a challenge. Deeps is awesome! I loved the yellow leaves!!

The colors were inspirational! Especially rich emerald green & vibrant goldenrod yellow. Besides all the obvious beauty everywhere, I was impressed with the mind-boggling masses of granite this valley represents. I also liked the eagle head shape I saw in the large rock in the pool at the bottom of Vernal Falls.

I enjoyed seeing Yosemite again, especially in the Fall. It was great!

The walk to Vernal Falls was fun—this is my first time in the autumn colors—the hike was well planned.
