This is what this Majestic Hotel in Yosemite looks like when it is snowing there. However, now it is springtime and might look like this once not or more or less between now and next fall sometime.If you look at the 4th floor where most of the best view rooms are we were on the left of the roof with snow on it on the 4th floor if you are looking at the 3 stories to the furthest right with snow on top. From this room we got by "Divine providence" through someone cancelling at the last moment (likely because of the traffic and road work in the valley)
So, we were amazed when we were checked into this room yesterday afternoon with a beautiful view of Half Dome, the Merced River in the distance and out another view window Half Dome and a waterfall that just isn't there unless you have snow and rainfall like we did this year in California. So, we felt very blessed indeed for this gracious gift from God! I actually think this room and the one above it on the 5 floor might be the best view rooms in the whole hotel.
Driving home over 140 was beautiful today not too hot and not too cold but it was a mile long traffic jam for people waiting to get into Yosemite National Park so we were sort of glad we were leaving and not coming now into the park.
By the time we got to interstate 5 and Santa Nella to go over the Pacheco Pass past San Luis Reservoir we were surprised at just how windy it was as the temperatures kept dropping with cloud cover showing us maybe a storm coming. But, it might have been the single windiest crossing over Pacheco pass ever. However, I didn't see any semi -trucks or trailers blown over this particular time over the pass so that was good even though the Highway patrol was stopping a lot of high windage tall vehicles. But, my truck is heavy enough and I don't have a camper or shell on it so it hugs the road pretty good with my wife and I and our luggage in it even in heavy winds. So, we were very lucky once again all the way home to the Northern California coast.
Note: Do you see that short veranda on the 4th floor between the tall stone columns? That I'm pretty sure was our room with perfect views of Half Dome, the Waterfall and in the distance, Merced River flowing through the park from all the waterfalls coming off the granite Cliffs surrounding Yosemite Valley.
