Quick Stop at Yosemite

 
Visited: May 2018

We first visited Yosemite National Park in 2014. We did some short hikes and scenic driving but ultimately did not spend enough time, and we have been itching to head back and explore more of this pristine, grandiose park. 

Fast forward to 2018...we visited Pinnacles National Park in central California. As we started our drive back home, I thought...what the heck...let's go home via Yosemite National Park. We did a quick drive through, stopped at Glacier Point, Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls, and drove on the scenic route through the valley.

Simply put, Yosemite is amazing. Incredibly gorgeous.

Once again, this little sample left us wanting so much more. We can't wait to return to Yosemite and experience all that this beautiful park has to offer.

To read more about this Park (and our first visit), read my earlier blog post here: https://paulnationalparks.blogspot.com/2017/08/yosemite-national-park.html

Bridalveil Falls.



Our first visit in 2014 to Yosemite was during a low rainfall year, and Bridalveil Falls was barely flowing. This time however, the Falls was raging!
