We started our first day at Yosemite by having breakfast with this Steller's Jay.
A group (herd? flock? pride?) of deer greeted us as we entered the park. As expected everyone said, "Ohhh."
Yosemite Falls, the highest waterfall in North America. We spent most of the day around Yosemite Village, which was more crowded with tourists than any previous National Park. Yosemite rock is granite, the surfaces of which have been ground to a shine by retreating glaciers. We were looking at shiny gray rocks rather than the various reds and browns of the sandstones that we had seen in Utah and Arizona.
These cool dudes are wearing their sunglasses from the Brooklyn Superhero store and are intrepidly gathering facts for their Yosemite Junior Ranger Activity Books.
