Reflections of Yosemite



I think almost every National Park has a Mirror Lake. Yosemite is no exception. By some standards, it's rather small, however. But the hike up the trail to see the lake which followed a swiftly flowing river was quite beautiful. We also had views of many of the park's numerous waterfalls from our trail. Our stroll through Yosemite Village included a visit to the Ansel Adams gallery which has a wonderful display of his remarkable photography. We saw some "crazies" rock climbing El Capitan-- 3500 vertical feet of granite! From the ground they looked like ants and were hard to spot without binoculars. With this trip to Yosemite, we have now been to the most visited National Park (Yosemite) and the least visited National Park (Big Bend).
