8.2-mile ride from Sentinel Bridge along the Valley Loop Trail that parallels Northside Drive to the beach near the El Cap Crossover Road. Our intention was to take the El Cap Crossover Road to Southside Drive to do a complete loop, but the smoke was so bad that we had to turn around and go back. When we got near Yosemite Lodge, we decided to go over Swinging Bridge and get on the Southside Drive. From there we biked back on the bike path that paralleled Southside Drive, passing the cute little Yosemite Chapel along the way.
