I don’t have a photo, but I finally got to see where my husband rockclimbed amidst such beauty. As we drove into the park, while listening to the music from the movie The Last of the Mohicans, the first view we saw was Bridalveil Falls straight ahead across the valley and El Capitan to the left. I was so overcome by emotion that I couldn’t stop crying! The beauty of nature in Yosemite is beyond wonderful!
Sincerely,
Yosemite National Park

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
We were able to make Yosemite a stop on our California trip and it was fantastic. We were able to show our children the beauty of true, unspoiled nature and its many beautiful features. They have a renewed appreciation for wild lands.
