About two hundred miles from Silicon Valley is the Yosemite National Park...

This trip is well worth the time taken to see some of the most spectacular scenery I have seen in a a long time.

In addition to the spectacular views of the valley, there is also the Mariposa Grove which contains tree over 3000 years old.

Below are some of the photo's I took whilst we were there...

Above is a view from route 41 above the valley floor looking back towards El-Capitan (the sheer cliffs on the left) and Bridal Falls on the right. Hidden from view in the clouds at the back is Half-Dome.

To the left of El-Capitan is the Yosemite Falls, consisting of the Upper and Low falls.

This is El-Capitan. This is apparently the name given at the time the first explorers saw this sheer cliff-face. 

Above is Half Dome, hidden by cloud in the pictures above.

Away from the Valley, a nice place to sit down and have Sunday brunch is the Wawona Hotel...
