Yosemite National Park - Saturday Snapshots

While looking through photo albums a couple of days ago, I came across pictures from our trip to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park (California) in July, 1990. The area is breathtakingly beautiful, so I decided to scan a few Yosemite photos and share with you. These pictures were taken with a 35mm film camera. (FYI: The park will celebrate its 125th anniversary on October 1, 2015.)

Rising more than 3,000 feet above the
valley floor, El Capitan is the largest
monolith of granite in the world.

Half Dome is perhaps the most recognized
symbol of Yosemite, rising nearly 5,000 feet
above the valley floor.

Here's another view of Half Dome,
taken from the valley floor.

Yosemite Falls (2,425 ft) flows approximately from
November through July. Since we were there in July,
the water flow was lighter but still impressive.

At the base of the lower portion
of Yosemite Falls, just one of many
beautiful waterfalls in the park.

You'll find more information about this magnificent national park here: Yosemite National Park

You should be able to zoom in and out on this map.
