Yosemite Falls Yosemite National Park

Tirsdag fortsatte vi turen op mod Yosemite. Det var en flot tur, der bød på en masse forskellig natur. Især stod den på en del bjergkørsel. I Yosemite fandt vi en hicking-rute, der gik op i landskabet mod en stort vandfald. Desværre er der kun vand i vandfaldet i løbet af foråret og sommeren, så det var …

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..

So since we are at our first official "attraction", I guess we can say our trip has now officially begun!

The cabin has 2 beds and because they are pretty narrow (and springy) we decided to each sleep in our "own" bed. Unfortunately this helps you nothing if someone has to go potty. Everything creaks so loud you might think it was a bunch …

Today we cooked up some bacon and eggs for brekkie and hit the road after packing up camp. We headed straight for Yosemite NP which was about 40mins away. On the way in to the park, Holly got car sick, fortunately we stopped just in time, so it wasn’t in Harvey (the RV). After paying our park entrance fee, we headed for Wawona. There we …

i climbed up to the top of the water and i felt so accomplised and empowered and like i could take over the world …

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 …

Buenos Días!!!

Naturaleza en estado puro aunque seca, característica del Otoño!

Después de desayunar, nos fuimos de aventura por el parque.
Constatando que las cascadas están casi todas secas, decidimos caminar a una mas cerca Vernal Fall (1h de caminada +-) para ver la poca agua que queda bajando….
Que bonito seria …

Sometimes it really is the simple things that give the most joy.

Take snow, for instance. Frozen water. Nothing fancy. But seeing it today for the first time in over a decade, I found myself buzzing with excitement. And I wasn't alone. Kez was positively beaming. She'd never touched snow before. Yosemite National Park would be her first …

Nadat de nieuwe band binnen was en op de auto gezet, konden we op pad richting Yosemite. We zijn het park binnengekomen via de oost-ingang, waardoor je over de Tioga pas rijdt. Deze is vanaf oktober tot en met mei afgesloten, doordat het zo hoog ligt dat er dan bijna continue sneeuw ligt. Maar nu niet en daarom konden we onderweg genieten van …

... 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 ...

... other passenger: Boswell, a spirited transient on his way to Yosemite to help rig a slack line up across Lost Arrow Spire next to Yosemite Falls. He had a buddy, Andy Lewis, who was attempting a back flip on the near 255-foot line. Scary! We would later ...

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 ...
