Entering Yosemite at Inspiration Point is an awesome experience of nature. With El Capitan & Half Dome cliffs, the waterfalls, the giant Sequoia groves, the wildlife and beauty, it is breathtaking! We traveled on to hike up to Bridal Falls. After a PBJ lunch in Thumper, we hiked to Yosemite Falls, the tallest waterfall in the US, and the 5th tallest waterfall in the world at 2,425 feet. We then biked with Toby to Curry Village for a picnic dinner, then onto Mirror Lake and Happy Isles. We returned to our campsite surrounded by campfires. Yosemite NP…astounding, m, b & t
