We packed in like little sardines into our enterprise van and truck in order to experience the unique opportunity to SUP in Yosemite. The excitement of traveling with a new group and looking forward to the epic Yosemite landscape made the drive a noteworthy experience. Our trip was beautifully diverse with Brazil, Switzerland, Colorado, and California folk being represented. In total there was twelve of us and seven had never been to Yosemite. I was extremely excited to share this trip with the group. Me and my co-worker planned this trip to be jam-packed with Yosemite highlights. The main attraction of our trip took place on Saturday when we drove Hwy120 E to reach Tenaya Lake. This is the perfect SUP location! I led a trip in Spring 2013 to Yosemite where we floated down Merced river on our Rafts and SUP, but the float was very short and the shuttle you have to run is tedious. This year we decided to do Tenaya lake because Merced River in the valley is dried out. I was happy with the shift in itinerary. Tenaya provided the perfect location to practice Stand Up Paddle boarding and we were in the center of beautiful panoramic views. Going to Yosemite is always humbling. It is the most toured National Parks, yet the vistas never cease to stop you in your tracks and stand in awe. The atmosphere is great for reflection as well as community building. The calm waters of Tenaya lake offered a peaceful setting for experiential learning and admiration of the surroundings. Every moment in Yosemite is rewarding.
