It was about 7hr. drive from Santa Barbara, northeasterly. It was much more than I had expected. Yosemite falls 1,000 ft high! Beautiful granite cliffs for miles, and many waterfalls. The shear height and majesty was awe inspiring. Spring was a good time to see it..the spring snow melt caused waterfalls to be very full and the spring green of the trees and vegetation lovely.
This is the 1st time Half Dome(background) came into view for Scott and I:
We sat here in our lawn chairs next to the Merced River for quite awhile by ourselves. A waterfall in the mountains across the river. So peaceful! A peak moment in the mountains. Later we took a hike along side the river.
