2016 May. Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park is set within California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, famous for its gorgeous waterfalls, giant ancient sequoias, iconic vistas, deep valleys, grand meadows, and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome. This is an extremely popular national park and packed with people, to the extent you will experience traffic jams and queues for a parking lot within the Yosemite Valley, where all the action concentrates. However once you get past that, and get onto the hiking trails, the views and scenery made it all worth it. Rocks, water, trees, and a combination of these, set against the blue sky, present a picturesque and stunning landscape that you will never forget.
Day 1
The marvel of Yosemite’s landscape begins once you exit Tunnel View, and greeted with a panoramic view of the valleys and mountains. Of course, that would also be your first encounter with the crowds that flock to Yosemite. 🙂
