Yosemite National Park

It is still the winter season in the Sierra Nevada Mountains so a lot of Yosemite National Park was closed but the main visitors center and everything in Yosemite Village was open. The waterfalls were spectacular and the Ranger walk took you through the Native American life--added bonus was that there was no crowd.  As a matter of fact, there were very few people in our RV Park (the people watching was fine--there was a couple tent camping in front of us with their teenage granddaughter--they were so cute and the teenager was terrorized because there was ZERO cell reception--she kept looking at her phone, standing on picnic tables etc. --ZERO). We decided to make a long day of it on Monday.  This worked.

John Muir and Teddy (my second favorite president) did more to create the National Parks than anyone

El Capitan, 3300 ft. in elevation, was amazing, they said to look for little specks on the
side of the mountain to see those brave (?!?) souls who vertically climb him.

Yes, it was cold.  Bridal Veil Falls was one of three that were falling freely from the snow melt

Terry was showing that he really could climb the rock, he just didn't feel like doing it

Half Dome Mountain--granite mountains caused by earthquakes and tectonic plates with crystalized magma
 

This is called Tunnel View because you can see the falls, El Capitan and Half Dome
