We spent the morning in Wawona, just inside Yosemite National Park’s south entrance. A 19th- century entrepreneur from New Hampshire named Galen Clark built the roadway of this bridge in 1868. After a few years he sold out to the Washburn brothers of Vermont, who roofed the bridge and built the Wawona Hotel, which is still there.
