To describe Yosemite in words is like trying to capture it in a picture.
You just have to go there to witness it properly.
Before a few friends and I first entered the park, I envisioned it to be a Mother Nature Theme Park.
And in a way, it was. It was crowded, everything was easily accessible, there were ample bathrooms.
I was shocked the trails didn’t have handicap ramps!
I feel that the park rangers even made sure deer were always present for ample photo opportunities.
El Capitan and Half Dome, ginormous rock formations, are the pinnacle of your visit. Sort of the Splash Mountain or the Teacups of Yosemite.
Besides spending our weekend exploring, we also frequented the buffet in Camp Curry, where our humble cabin was located.
If you’re not staying in a hotel, you stay at Camp Curry, a sort of halfway point for those who don’t want to sleep in tents but kind of want the fear of being eaten by bears to loom…ever so slightly.
There were convenience stores and several places to eat in Camp Curry.
But we seem to always choose the 1970’s GHETTO ASS buffet.
Wow, my first Yosemite meal. It consisted of everything of the yellow variety. Things not found in nature. You got enough of that outside, I guess.
I don’t think anything green was even offered.
I’m going to let the rest of the trip play out in pictures.
Backwards.
Because I’m lazy, I couldn’t be bothered to switch them around in the order they downloaded.
Enjoy!
