June Meet Up
Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2026
Time: 5:30 – 7:30 pm
Location: Cascade Creek Picnic Area
This is the first time we’ve held a monthly meetup outside of Yosemite Valley, but with so many people coming in along the 140 corridor, or headed back that way at the end of the day, I’m excited to give this a try. As a climber, I usually think of this as the parking area for Pat And Jack Cliff, but I’ve spent very little time on the other side of the road, down by the Merced River, so I’m eager to explore what the area has to offer.
What to Bring (as always)
- Something to write with and on. I usually have some extra stuff if you forget, or just want to experiment, but a bit of printer paper and a pen or pencil is also just fine! The goal here is to slow down and observe the natural world around us, and put our insights and questions on paper. Although not necessary, having some options for color is also fun – whether that’s watercolor, colored pencils, pastels, or markers.
- Clothing layers. As usual in Yosemite, we’ll expect the temps to dip as the sun gets low in the sky, so come prepared with a few extra layers if you think you might want them.
- Mosquito Repellent? (optional) I’ll also try to have some share this time.
- Your Curiosity and Wonder. The last thing on the list, but the most important.
