Yosemite National Park

I am currently in California on vacation and one place I wanted to visit was Yosemite National Park, mainly because I wanted to experience the amazing sights this area has to offer.

I wasn't disappointed with any aspect of the park. Firstly the accommodation was excellent, I chose a river view room and it came complete with a kitchenette and the room itself was very spacious with a balcony and furniture so you could enjoy the sound of the fast flowing river with a coffee.

The sights of El Capitan and the amazing waterfalls were simply breathtaking, it was difficult for the brain to accept what the eyes were seeing. Indeed the only way to confirm this was to look back at the photographs taken, some of which I have included here.

With the above falls, you can walk to where the water hits the ground and get covered with its spray. It really is a great experience to see so much water hitting the ground. The force of the falls only gets greater with the more snow melt that will no doubt follow as the park warms up.

El Capitan looked stunning in the morning sunshine, I would love to know how many photos of the peak are taken each day, it most number thousands! Here is one more............

The scenery around both the falls and the peak was stunning at every turn. This made the park so enjoyable. There is still so much to see and I'm sure this will it be my only visit.
