The entrance of Yosemite National Park.
The park service conveniently placed a sign just for Janet.
Notice the ear muffs and gloves. Snow was on the ground just up the hill from this location.
Giant Sequoia Tree Hugger Janet
That's Janet crawling along a downed Giant Sequoia
Janet is standing on the same downed Giant Sequoia in Tuolunme Grove. These Big Trees are almost unbelievingly big. This tree has been down for more than 100 years and will perhaps show very little deterioration in the next 100.
Janet and Doug at the Tunnel Tree in Tuolumne Grove. This tunnel is large enough for a wagon and team to pass through. This tree was killed when the bark was stripped off, shipped to the World's Fair, reassembled so an unbelieving public could see evidence there were giant trees growing in the West. Hope this type of practice never happens again.
Bridle Veil Falls in Yosemite National Park, CA. as seen from the tunnel viewpoint. This falls is the first major sight that comes into view as the valley floor opens up at the tunnels leading in to the valley.
Bridal Veil Falls viewed from the valley floor.
And this is Bridal Veil Creek after tumbling down the falls. All the streams in Yosemite were flowing full at this time and that meant all the falls were spectacular.
Yosemite Falls - Perhaps the most famous falls in the west. A series of falls - upper, middle and lower.
The famous Yosemite Half Dome.
Illilouette Falls
The Valley - Yosemite National Park. Taken from the Tunnel View Point. This says it all - El Capitan on the left with Half Dome and Bridle Veil on the right.

This is El Capitan. See the tent on the face. A rock climber settled in for the night.
John & Sandi Turner, Janet and Doug. John took all of the pictures of the falls, also the valley view.
