Yosemite National Park

P1010056

The Yosemite National Park is one of the largest parks in the US. The beauty of Yosemite is carved from centuries of glaciers that split the landscape into two and made these steep cliffs. Eventually the glaciers melted, and today there’s a huge U-shaped valley where it used to be. Some of the famous rocks here is the “Al-Capitan” and the “Half-Dome”.

Yosemite park has about 40 forest fires a year, cause mostly by lightning strikes and other natural causes. In spring, the ice melts and you get streams and waterfalls. While we’re there however, it’s late summer and most of the water has dried up.

Yosemite was breathtakingly beautiful, and I have never seen landscape like this before. We wished that instead of sitting in a bus, we could have rented a Harley and just ride all the way there and back.
