Yosemite Park

The stop at Yosemite Park on our way from Vegas to San Francisco, is the best decision we made. The view is so scenic & weather there is much pleasant than Vegas. You can still see the snow left over on some parts of the park. We arrived there in the late afternoon & took a stroll at the giant sequoia wood. The stroll became a hike through to sunset.

The beautiful sunset in the midst of the giant trees is a fascinating scene and refreshing smell of wood.

The cone from these giant sequoia is as long as your forearm. Really giantic in comparison to those fist sized cones that I used to see.

Snow plant, is a small red plant, which grows between April to Nov. It has no chlorophyll & survived on dead plant material.

On our way back to the hotel, we made a left turn & had the traffic police right behind us. Oophs, that was an illegal turn and we did not see the sign which was high up on the post. Thankfully, the police let us off.

The next day, we made our way to the glacier point & had a fantastic view of the Yosemite valley.

Along the way to the big Yosemite falls (left photo), is the bridalveil fall – exactly like a bridal veil (extreme right photo).

That’s the El Captain, which is the largest granite monolith in the world.

On our way from Yosemite to San Francisco, we chance upon this beautiful view. I later found out it is Lake Don Pedro.

Truely a memorable trip.
