YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK CA

After our arrival outside Yosemite National Park, we set up in the town of Oakhurst. It was an ideal base camp for our park tour.

From our dining window we enjoyed the river view as it passed through the RV park.

After a cold snap, our water hose froze as did the river shore line. 

Yosemite National Park, one of the first wilderness parks in the United States, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.

A fallen sequoia root size was amazing.

A fresh snow fall added to the wonder of walking among these giant redwoods.

This scene shows all as you enter Yosemite valley.

Bridalveil Falls

A fresh spray freeze up provided some excitement at the bottom of the falls as pieces of ice crashed on the rocks below.

Yosemite Falls

This falls is one of the highest in the world.

The run off  from the falls provided wonderful reflecting pools in the valley below.

Horsetail Falls

Horsetail Falls is very unique as its position in relation to the setting sun can make it appear to be a river of fire.This usually happens in the month of Febuary.

The short drives in the park are most interesting.

How's this for a natural tunnel.
