Blogs from Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California, United States, North America - page 4

I am being slightly lazy in that I'm going to combine today and yesterday's blog into one so I hope you can all forgive me for that. Kit has asked me to voice his displeasure at some of the comments I have been making about him, so now I have mentioned that I have another quality comment from Kit. Dad had just said to Fred that he could be the one to introduce Smooth 70s radio to Franklin House when he starts at Canford to which Kit pipes up, no Joe already listens to 80s and 90s music! Once again, Idiot! Now that is out of the way I will proceed with an account of yesterday's activities. We rose slightly later than anticipated meaning that a hike in the national park would have to be postponed ... read more

Jadąc do parku narodowego Yosemite byliśmy przygotowani na uroczą dolinę otoczoną górami, jaką można znaleźć choćby w Polsce. Zastaliśmy jednak kolejny cud przyrody – dolinę otoczoną ze wszystkich stron skalnymi ścianami, pełną zieleni i uroczych wodospadów. Wspaniałe miejsce na spędzenie niedzieli – najpierw 3-godzinna wyprawa pod wodospad Yosemite a następnie leżakowanie nad rzeką Merced :) Z parku wyjeżdżaliśmy tzw. Tioga Road, która dostarczyła nam kolejnych spektakularnych widoków – wijąca się wśród skał i rzek, z maksymalną wysokością 3,031m (najwyższy szczyt w naszym życiu J). Po drodze udało nam się zobaczyć prawdziwego niedźwiedzia (!), który jednak nie dał się sfotografować i szybko czmychnął w las. Yosemite polecamy każdemu! /// Yosemite National Park was another great point of our trip – wonderful images with mountains, forests and waterfalls made huge impr... read more

Nach mehr as drei Wochen im Yosemite Valley gibt es so viel zu erzählen, dass es vermutlich alle außer mir selbst langweilt :). Deswegen gibts jetzt mal Kategorien: Schlafen, orientieren, essen, waschen, bewegen. Schlafen Das Camp 4 ist die Adresse um hier im Yosemite Valley billig zu übernachten. Pro Person und Nacht kann man sein ganzes Campingzeug in den Zeltplatz tragen, denn hier parken die Autos außerhalb. 2003 wurde Camp 4 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen, Begründung: Its significant association with the growth and development of rock climbing in the Yosemite Valley during the 'golden years' of pioneer mountaineering Da das Camp 4 der billigste Campingplatz und eben sehr beliebt ist, darf man sich morgens sehr früh anstellen und maximal pro Person eine Woche bleiben. Taucht man in der Schlange um sechs Uhr ... read more

Kevin and Olivia had an annual year pass to Yosemite National Park. It was my first visit to the park. We got a "cabin" (more like a hotel room) and checked out the park from there. It was a memorable trip indeed.... read more

Took a two week adventure to California. Visted my cousins and they showed me San Francisco where they reside and the surrounding area. While in San Fran I hit up many local spots including the Tee Off which has amazing food if you ever head to the outer richmond region. Hops and Hominey is another must stop for food if your in downtown San Fran. As well we visted the California Academy of Sciences, a Giants game and much more. Then we headed north to Lake Tahoe where we spent two beautiful days on the lake, and then headed to Yosemite National Park. Unfortuantly we only had time to do the drive through, but I plan on going back and getting the full experiance!... read more
