We drove across the park to a grove of Giant Sequoias, where we went for a short walk which lasted about an hour. Yosemite reminded me of New Zealand a bit, with its steep sided glacial valleys, forests and lakes. It doesn't seem really that imposing, but we would find out the next day what it was really about.
After the walk, we drove on to a campsite at Indian Flats, where we would be spending the next two nights.
