Yosemite

We made it to Yosemite National Park, one of our oldest and most known parks.  There were lots of people, even though this isn't the busy season.  It was pretty cool, with some amazing chunks of rock.  We climbed to the top of Yosemite Falls.  They are the tallest falls in North America.  We also checked out Mariposa Grove, the largest grove of Giant Sequoia in the park.
