Yosemite Here we Come!!!

Such beautiful scenery
Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular tract of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada, which was set aside as a national park in 1890. The park harbors a grand collection of waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things.
Highlights of the park include Yosemite Valley, and its high cliffs and waterfalls; Wawona's history center and historic hotel; the Mariposa Grove, which contains hundreds of ancient giant sequoias; Glacier Point's (summer-fall) spectacular view of Yosemite Valley and the high country; Tuolumne Meadows (summer-fall), a large subalpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks; and Hetch Hetchy, a reservoir in a valley considered a twin of Yosemite Valley.

Fees to enter the park include the Yosemite Pass ($40.00 valid for one year), Vehicle Pass ( $20.00 valid for seven days) and the Individual Pass ($10.00 valid for seven days).

 Yosemite National Park actually has the wrong tribe. I am a Yosemite Native Americans and they were Paiutes. Everything written was from Lafayette Bunnell, the only man to meet Chief Tenaya. http://esnips.com/web/YosemiteIndiansWebResearch

 Great History lesson on Yosemite! I used to camp here as a child, and my grandparents honeymooned at Camp Curry in 1930. So most of my pictures are in black and white. Love your amazing color pictures. Thanks for sharing !
