off to Yosemite

Valley Portal as you enter from the West. From here you can see Cascade falls, Yosemite Valley, Bridalveil Falls, Sentinel Dome, Merced River and Elephant Rock (if you know where to look)

El Capitan is seen through the trees.


One of the many falls you can see in Yosemite. You could actually see the mist blowing back from the top of the falls.

You will need to enlarge this one to see the "3 bears". One is behind the tree one is atop the date stamp and the other is to the left of the tree and lighter in color. They had been feeding all day in this meadow but, never came closer.


We hiked the 2 + miles to see Mirror Lake. What a beautiful setting. We were told that the lake is gradually being filled in with silt. They refer to it as a wide spot in the creek now as it is so much smaller. It would have been very peaceful except for all the school kids on one last field trip.
