The Taft Point Trail was fairly typical of a number of trails at Yosemite National Park. We knew that “the point,” of the so-named Taft Point Trail, would be an outcropping of some sort and we anticipated the potential of great vistas.
On the way to the point, however, we hiked through the woods with an abundance of trees. Some of the places were very muddy and we had to scurry to find the driest path forward.
In the photo, viewers can see the log that is sawed into pieces to allow hikers to pass. I am always appreciative of the workers and trail keepers who do this labor to allow us to more safely hike the special lands!
