Greetings from Yosemite National Park

We introduced our daughter to Yosemite National Park when she was 10 years old and the park instantly became her favorite place to go to. We have been a regular visitor of the park since 2012, we did several hikes (easy and hard), broke my leg on one of the hikes also, but we continue to visit this magnificent place. Like my daughter describes it, if there is heaven then it has to be in Yosemite :-).

Sincerely,
Deepa
