The park (must-see on a California tour) is enclosed by vertical rocks and it is a unique landscape in the world with spectacular rocky peaks, roaring waterfalls, shining lakes and giant sequoia.
El Capitan: the king of the monoliths
The park has 8 granite monoliths and El Capitan is one of the tallest granite stones in the world (1100 meters). During the journey you will see many tourists who will stop, so many parked cars and a huge monolith that stands proudly against the sky. It is really very impressive to think that it is a single rock block!
Half Dome: a spectacular rocky wall
A wonderful smooth rock wall. Walking to the summit is fascinating: first the Mist Trail, then the Vernal Falls waterfall and finally a challenging climb. It's hard but of course you will be rewarded with a beautiful view (also enjoyable during the walk).
I was very lucky to meet along my path various animals and especially a little bear. It is nice to live in nature and to feel part of it. It's the best park that I've seen before.
ENJOY USA AND YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK!
