Minty's Adventures in Yosemite

Minty and I had our first adventure together this week on a trip to Yosemite. Minty felt right at home since there were loads of horses there (at least we saw a lot of evidence of them on the trails!). Here are some pictures I took of Minty on our trip.

Minty was so excited about arriving in Yosemite I had to take a picture of him when we stopped for a picnic.


On our first morning, we went on a little hike around Yosemite valley. Sorry that Minty is in shadow, it was a little shady on the trail.


Minty got a little overexcited and had an accident :-(


Minty liked sitting on the Sugar Pine Bridge, over the Merced River.


Minty wanted to run across the meadow to get a better view of Half dome.


Minty tries to find the way to Half Dome.


Minty sees the "Alpenglow" on Half Dome


Minty watches the crazy people climbing up El Capitan


Minty checks out the view from Glacier Point, he looks awfully close to the edge... careful Minty!

Minty at Taft Point (7503 feet)


Minty at Taft Point... don't jump Minty!


Minty visits the "Grizzly Giant" and "Tunnel Tree" sequoias. Don't worry Minty, it's not a real Grizzly Bear.


Minty says "Don't play with matches"


Minty at the Mariposa Sequoia Grove

Minty says "goodbye" to Yosemite. He had a wonderful time and can't wait for his next adventure.
