Yosemite was a gorgeous place and if I could, I would visit there
again. We went with our grandparents and
it was an incredible 5 days. Yosemite
has the most amazing view with waterfalls, rocks, pine trees, and other spectacular
scenes. People come from around the
world to see this wondrous park.
Every day there was a new activity planned. On the first day, we decided to go hike up to
Vernon Falls. The hike was all up hill and difficult, but it was worth it. Vernon falls was the most gorgeous waterfall
I had ever seen. As the water crashed
down the waterfall shot out this spectacular rainbow with all the colors. When
you were on the top of the waterfall, you could feel the mist of the waterfall
shooting out and you could smell the pine forest ahead. We rested at Vernon Falls for about a half
hour, and then my family and I split. My grandma and my twin brother and sister
went down back to camp while my grandpa and my sister Sarah and I trekked up to
Nevada Falls. Nevada Falls also had a
beautiful waterfall.

The nights were something we all looked forward to because that meant s'mores and fire. Every morning, we would collect wood for the night’s camp fire.

Another day I enjoyed was horseback riding. Sarah and I each went on a horse to mirror lake. Bart my horse was a beautiful milk chocolate color. Sarah had a mule named Ned who was dark black with a touch of white on his face. I hadn’t been on a horse by myself for a while, but I didn’t have to worry because Bart took over. Yosemite is a place that I will never forget, and I would love to go camping here again.

Have you ever been to Yosemite?
Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteWe are glad that our first trip together was a success. You have beautiful pictures, especially I like Michael's picture. May be next year we can travel again. What place did you liked the most?
Love you,
Grandma Tanya and Grandpa Eugene
Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
DeleteThank you so much for taking us on this amazing trip. I hope we weren't too much trouble for you and that you will take us again next year. My favorite place was the river in the camping grounds of Yosemite.
I love you both,
Miriam
Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI loved your post about Yosemite National Park. Surprisingly, I had never been to Yosemite as a young person. Mr. Yollis took me there when I was in my thirties!
When we were in Yosemite, we camped in a few locations. One night while we were sitting by the fire, a deer walked through our camp! I remember hiking to Bridalveil Falls. One day, I'd like to do the big 17 mile hike from the valley to Half Dome and back. We had not planned on that hike, so did not attempt it.
One place that I really liked was Glacier Point. Were you able to head to that location?
Your proud former teacher,
Mrs. Y♥llis
@Mrs. Yollis,
DeleteThank you for your wonderful comment. On an early morning walk with my grandfather, we saw a doe walking with its baby. It was so cute! We weren't able to make it to Glacier Point, but we did visit Bridalveil Falls. Most waterfalls and lakes had dried up as we went in August and it was very hot. We really wanted to go to half dome as well, but now they require a permit to go up to half dome to prevent overcrowding. Maybe next time we visit we will get a permit and try to go to half dome. The one thing that we realized is the importance to carry a lot of water. Each of us carried two bottles which was enough to Vernon and barely for Nevada falls, but definitely not enough to get to half dome. One hiker we met on the way carried 5 liters of water to get to half dome and back.

Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteI grew up in California, but surprisingly never have been to Yosemite. Mr. Watanabe has gone several times with friends. It's on my bucket list.
However, first I'd like to take my kids to the Grand Canyon which is a bit closer to where we live in Arizona. Have you been to the Grand Canyon?
Kind regards,
Mrs. Watanabe
Dear Mrs. Watanabe,
DeleteThank you for your wonderful comment. You really should go to Yosemite as it is an amazing place to visit. I traveled to the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and Bryce Canyon last year with my family. I am sure you and your kids will also enjoy those parks. The one place I really want to go next is Yellowstone National Park. I researched the state of Wyoming for a school project last year and it looked amazing.
I hope you get a chance to visit these places!
From,
Miriam
This is really a wonderful place to visit.I haven't be even there but i want to go there as soon as possible .

Dear Miriam,
ReplyDeleteYour writing is beautifully descriptive and took me back almost 30 years to when I had the chance to travel to Yosemite. I don't remember too much except how close I felt to nature and that I especially loved the waterfalls.
