Second camping trip this year, this time at Big Meadows which pretty much requires reservations for a summer weekend. It was a nice campground, actually much quieter than expected. We had site A35 a walk-in that was still relatively close to the car.

Chris and Emerson joined us for an hour at camp and a couple hours' hike.

After about a mile of fire road and maybe 1/2 mile of trail, we stopped at a water hole to get the boys' feet wet.

After dinner drive to see some evening views
Sunday morning was solid rain, making for a messy getaway. But after breakfast at the wayside cafe and packing up we were able to get a bit of blue sky peeking through.
The Old Rag View overlook, very pretty this time with the wildflowers.
