Day 12 - Yosemite National Park


Road trip: a journey made by car, bus, etc.
Vacation; an extended period of leisure and recreation, especially one spent away from home or in traveling.

If  I was ever in doubt, this has confirmed it.  We are not on a vacation!  An extended period of leisure!  Ha!  We're barely slowing down to sleep (or try to sleep in some cases.) 

We traveled from Angels Camp, CA to Yosemite National Park.  Since the park is so large and we are due for a little slower pace, we've rented an Airbnb house for 2 nights in Groveland, CA.  Today we went into the Yosemite Valley and up to Glacier Point.  The day was beautiful and so was the scenery.  Tomorrow we continue exploring Yosemite.

The photographer Ansel Adams worked in the Yosemite area and there is even a store dedicated to him in the Yosemite Valley.  As he worked mostly in black and white, I've decided to do the same.

Me!

Seriously big rocks!  They are so majestic!

Before we got to the falls we found out they were dry!  Too bad!

With binoculars we could see people climbing this massive rock.  
Unbelievable.

OK, so I'm no Ansel Adams.  
Here's a color picture from Glacier Point.
Unbelievably majestic.
