Yosemite Falls Yosemite National Park

Deze nacht hebben we heerlijk geslapen, goed bed en een goed ontbijt! Om 08.30 zaten we weer in de auto..dit keer met mij achter het stuur…jawel! Vandaag stond Yosemite op het program en de weg ernaar toe bleek slingerend omhoog te gaan…erg leuk!! Het uitzicht was fantastisch…veel groene bomen en bovenin lag nog sneeuw..

We left the house around 8ish on Sunday and we drove to a tiny rvpark close to Sacramento. We stayed there for one night and then traveled two hours near Mono Lake. We set up camp around Yosemite and the camp ground is really nice! i cant wait till tomorrow ! Tomorrow we are going to hike up the Mist trail and get completly drenched !!!!!!Well i …

De afstand naar Yosemite was niet zo ver, maar onderweg stopten we even zodat we via internet onze reservatie voor een hotel in San Francisco konden regelen. Dit ging vlot, via AirBnB.com (thx Els voor de tip) vonden we een leuke dame die een aantal kamers in haar appartement verhuurde aan toeristen. Het appartement zag er goed uit en was goed …

Went with my dad for a few weeks to see some relatives. Stayed at their ranch and went to San Fransisco to visit more relatives! was only young but an ace holiday! Brother came too but flew home early …

Wir verlassen heute San Francisco nach einem letzten Stopp an den nur fünf Autominuten von unserem Apartment entfernten Twin Peaks über die San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge in Richtung Osten. Die Twin Peaks (Zwillingsgipfel) sind zwei Hügel in San Francisco mit einer Höhe von 276 m (nördlicher Gipfel) und 277 m (südlicher Gipfel). Sie …

Auch an diesem Morgen ist das Wetter wieder bilderbuchmäßig. Leider haben wir noch immer keine Sonnencreme gekauft, diese ist aber heute unverzichtbar. Wir müssen sie leider total überteuert im moteleigenen Gift Shop besorgen.

Wir räumen das Zimmer und fahren auch gleich um 09:30 Uhr wieder los in den Park. Das Ticket für den Nationalpark …

We woke up this morning after having a well needed sleep. Our only problem was that fact we are still on UK time which means we were awake at 3.30am. We spent the next few hours drinking coffee (no tea ahhhhh!) and planning our route for today. (6.30am) we went to the main lodge for breakfast. There is definitely a difference between our …

We ventured through Sequoia Park and Yosemite National Parks, very limited phone coverage so it's been a while since blog was updated. Photos coming soon from the parks, still might be a while on some photos and shots.

We had a great time, rough camping with cold showers, primitive style and eating camp food, but fun. We took an afternoon …

Euch wird bestimmt aufgefallen sein, dass ich am 8.8. eigentlich keinen Eintrag geschrieben habe. Aber nachdem jetzt schon drei Tage seit dem letzten Eintrag vergangen sind, habe ich beschlossen, die letzten beiden Tage "rückdatiert" zu schreiben und dann für heute nochmals einen eigenen Eintrag zu machen. Wir hatten nämlich gestern kein Internet, …

We journeyed through desert and "Western" towns. We stayed in a motel in Merced before continuing up into the hills and arriving in the heart of Yosemite National Park. There was not a fast food place in sight, and what a glorious sight it is! There are massive domes of sliced granitic rocks which tower into the blue sky, and are decorated with …

... good twenty or thirty times, while Andris blurted out 'GOD' well over a hundred. By dusk we'd made it over to Yosemite falls, a two tiered smattering of nature. It was monstrous, especially considering it was so distant. I couldn't get close enough ...

... falls.  It was a stunning set of sights and I will definitely come back to hike around the Yosemite falls but I still can't help thinking that the Utah National Parks have the edge for overall views and sights. On the way back the Sat Nav thought ...

Up early to go on the stated 6-8 hour hike up to the top of the Nevada falls. The Yosemite falls has no water at the moment, but the Nevada falls does as it's fed by glacial melt, higher up in the mountain range. I ended up doing it in 5.5 hours and was ...

... auf den Weg. Auf dem grossen Parkplatz lassen wir unser Auto stehen und machen uns zu Fuss auf den Weg, zuerst Richtung Lower Yosemite Falls. Auch dieser Fall führt so viel Wasser, dass man nur aus einiger Distanz fotografieren kann und die Brücke vor ...

... up the mountain in the heat & drank all the water we could carry, but after 3 hours climbing we got to the Yosemite falls climbing over loads of massive rocks then through lots of trees & bush whilst looking out for bears, snakes or spiders and ...

 From San Francisco we headed to our first National Park on the west coast – Yosemite. We arrived early to get into the first come, first serve campsite, Camp 4. We must have arrived by 6.30am and there was already a queue of people waiting ...
