1: Highlights of Yosemite National Park 539 secs
"Yosemite""Yosemite""Yosemite"

Here we come!!!




Having spent the night in a place called "Tracy", we made the journey to "Yosemite" national Park.

You may ask yourself "Aren't they fed up with national parks yet?"

In a nut shell "NO!".

Everyone we've been to, has had something different going for it.
And Yosemite is no exception.

The views were absolutely amazing.
A definate must see.

(That $80 yearly park pass has really paid for it's self and some...)

From Yosemite we traveled through the "Inyo National Forest" looking for somewhere to stay.

We eventually ended up at "The Sierra Retreat" in "Walker" in the middle of the night.
So desperate were we to rest up, that we didn't notice the over frilly decor in the cabin until the morning.

However it did have a full working kitchen, it's just a shame we didn't have any food with us!!!
So no breakfast for us, till the next town......

We really think anyone who's visiting the USA should at the very least, visit one of the national parks.

They won't be disappointed..
