Views from Glacier Point Yosemite National Park

Talk about a beautiful morning drive.

Remnants of that weather we experienced yesterday.

Breathtaking!!!

Stair-step falls cascading to the valley floor.

Majestic

Looked like a good place for a  bear and her cubs to be frolicking but not today.

One of those pesky "happy campers".

Sorry, but it looks beautiful from every angle.

Just a pretty picture, I think.....

Looking down on Yosemite Valley

Another slightly different angle.

Yet another falls cascading into the valley.

Another one of those pesky "happy campers"

Sorry again, it just kept capturing my eye.

Closer view of the stair-step falls.
We got up early Sunday morning, grabbed breakfast at McD's and headed up the mountain in hopes of beating the crowds to Yosemite. We were successful as there was no wait at the gate. As you can see from the photo's it turned out to be a wonderful morning! It was about 53 miles from our camp to Glacier Point. You wind your way up the mountain to 7200 ft through some beautiful forest. When you do get there you realize the journey was definitely worth it.

  1. Your pictures of Yosemite were drop dead gorgeous. Now you can see why Louie has been out west twenty some times. It would take a lifetime to take in all the beauty. I've been seven times and haven't touched the surface of all the beauty. Enjoy and keep the blogs coming. I really enjoy reading them.
