'El Capitan'
The second biggest monalith in the world! (Aiyrs Rock being 1st)Yosemite National Park
We took a coach tour of Yosemite National Park, initially the idea of a 'coach tour' put us off, but we couldn't drive there ourselves as the roads are closed to public vehicles due to heavy snow, etc...
We had a great time there, lots of snow and rain, but this added to the ambience of the place! (us brits...hard as nails!) Yosemite is Americas first National Park openned by Reagan. This is 'BIG' country at it's very best, ie, stunning waterfalls, canyons, white rapids and HUGE rivers, massive rocks/boulders/birds/trees/forests/no tourists/bears/small stones/mud/flowers/etc.........
It took 4 hours from San Fran, the coach driver was proper mind! A real cool old yank, gave us the 'short' history of America, Yosemite, local business and the changes in economic growth within the past century, and the brief history of time, the Universe, his family, booze, and immigrants, toothpaste........etc.... to which we listened, and pleasently enjoyed!!
peace out ya'll
