Tioga Road and Tuoulmne Meadows...

On the last day we drove back to the park to at least drive Tioga Road where we had planned out starting our backpack trip. Someone must have been looking out for us since just as I was about to give up hope of seeing a bear at all, there one was! And the traffic jam to prove it! People parking on the road, taking their kids out of the car to get closer to the bear (smart, I know), etc. Wonder what the bear thought of that... Anyways, I didn't realize the manual focus was on the camera at the time instead of auto, so what I ended up with out the rental car window is more "proof" than "photography".

We got back to San Francisco with enough time to get a few shots of the bridge before heading to the airport. Would have loved to stay longer, but oh well. We'll have to return!
