Yosemite National Park

We spent today at Yosemite.  It was beautiful, but pales in comparison to Zion & Bryce Canyon.  Zion National Park is still our favorite that we have visited so far.  We were rather surprised that the park was so busy today.  There were also several people camping there.  You can take smaller RVs in, but there were also several tents.  There is NO WAY I would stay there in a tent.  There are too many bears roaming around!
 
The Entrance...now 35 miles to the valley floor.

The base of a giant sequoia tree...
note the cars in the background.  This is in the
Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias.

Bob at the base of a giant sequoia.  These trees are
HUGE!!!  Can't wait to visit Redwoods National Park
in a few days...
