Yosemite National Park
Steve and I are on a road trip through northern California, Oregon and Washington. It is really too hot to stay in Vegas if you can help it. We spent today touring through Yosemite National Park for the first time. What a treat! The scenery is a study of contrasts between the hugh gray granite monoliths, the stately sequoias and other pines and the cascading waterfalls. The first picture is a view of Bridal Veil Falls in the early morning. The second picture is a view of Yosemite Valley after passing through the tunnel carved out of solid granite. The rock on the left is El Capitan.We had only one day to spend here but you could easily spend a week hiking, biking, rafting, horse back riding, etc.
