Day Trip To Yosemite National Park

WOKE UP EARLY TO MAKE A TRIP TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK... It was a three hours drive and we reached there around noon when we reached there.  I really did not know what to expect except that it is about mountains, something like the Grand Canyon.  I was told this is even more beautiful than Grand Canyon.. serious?  Well, after spending nearly half a day here at Yosemite, I really must agree, it is indeed very beautiful, left me standing in awe for many moments at certain areas.  If one is into nature, I would highly recommend this National Park, this is not to be missed!

Briefly about Yosemite National Park from Wikipedia, it is a national park famous for its granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, giant sequoia groves, lakes, mountains, glaciers and biological diversity.  Visitors reached 5 million in 2016 for the first time in history..

No wonder when we were there on a Wednesday, there is still a large crowd everywhere, parking was full, however we managed to get one.  Shuttle buses were easily accessible every ten minutes and we have a nice walk through nature while admiring the wonders of God's creation every now and then.

  1. Thanks for the lovely photos. All I know about Yosemite Park is that they have bears up there. Did you spot any bears?

  2. The waterfalls are beautiful! But I think my favorite picture is the first one, where you drive right through the rocks!

    I didn;t go to Yosemite as it was Winter at that time I was in California. I really must go in future since you said it is nicer than Grand Canyon.
