Back to Cedar Grove in King's Canyon

The Dellia Winery Yurt was really nice. I had a good sleep, a good shower, and good coffee in the morning while I captioned pictures. Then I got an early start heading back to do the last part of yesterday's route which I missed due to the Crystal Cave Tour and lots of hiking. This morning detour will add 110 miles to today's ride.

Down to the King's River
