Yosemite at last! The highlight of our trip has finally arrived! We entered Yosemite from the south entrance at Mariposa Grove where we saw the most incredible Giant Sequoia trees. Sequoias can grow up to 3,000 years. We took a short hike to see a fallen Giant Sequoia.
We then drove up to Glacier Point which is at 7,214 feet where you can see forever. The most spectacular view is that of Half Dome, Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls. Spring is the best time to visit Yosemite as the waterfalls are at their peak thanks to the melting snow. The other half of Half Dome was sheared off by glaciers thousands of years ago.
You can also see down into the valley and the winding Merced River, the historic Ahwahnee Hotel, Curry Village and, off into the distance, Yosemite Falls.
