Entering the Yosemite Valle
Yosemite is a special place. I’ve only had the privilege to go there twice so far, but the park never seems to get old or fail to amaze me. There are many things you can do in Yosemite, hike, ride horse’s, ride bikes through the park, drift down a lazy river through the park, take interpretive tours with guides, the list goes on. I’m going to only cover the hiking in Yosemite Park, starting with the only two hikes I’ve had a chance to do yet, Yosemite Falls and Half Dome.
