On Tuesday we left the motor home at the park and drove to Yosemite National Park. It was on up the Greeley Hill Road over the top and down the other side to sr120 and into the park.

We drove up to about 5000 feet and then down into the park. A most interesting trip as you traverse many sharp curves, up and down and round and around again. Beautiful scenery all the way.

We only covered the northern portion of the park as there is really too much to see in a one day trip. We will see the southern part another day next week.


The visitors center was most interesting as it showed how the park was created and it is still growing a small amount each year. I am sure it changes in appearance as well as time takes its toll on the rocks, etc.

If you had the opportunity to see the documentary on the National Parks by John Burns, it will help you understand a lot of things you see when you visit the park in person. It is just to grand to explain in words, you just have to visit to really see the splendor that nature has put before you.

It is a place you could spend days, weeks, or even months just looking and exploring all that is available in the park.

The top photo is of John Muir, the man that worked so hard and long to bring the park to the point it was finally made a National Park. It has been increased in area since then to the point it is today.

The second photo is of ElCapitan on the left and Half Dome on the right.
