Yosemite National Park

We took a tour up to Yosemite National Park today. It was a long drive but well worth the trip. Great big sequoia trees, sugar pine trees in the old growth forest. By old they mean more than 800 years old! Great big tree trunks that would take 5-6 people to go around it. The national park itself is pretty impressive. El Capitan and Half Dome are apparently good spots for rock climbing, though we didn't spot anyone on it today. You've gotta be an expert to climb those rocks for sure! Definitely not for the faint hearted.

We weren't so adventurous, sticking to the standard baby hiking trails, going halfway up Verdun Falls and getting some nice shots from there of the Half Dome. Lots of squirrells running around and saw a couple of deers, which were quite happy to pose for photos (Photos to follow).

Alas time there was too short. If anyone is planning a trip to Yosemite, highly recommend trying to stay a night or two. We tried to book but it was sold out quite far in advance.

Later...
