Easter Weekend at Yosemite National Park

April 18 - 19, 2014
Yosemite National Park, CA


The last time we visited Yosemite National Park together (infamous Kris Koeller-organized camping trips aside) was around 1999 or 2000 back when we were newly arrived Californians. Over this past winter and into the spring, we'd been doing a lot of hiking in the parks near our home and a couple weeks ago we hiked the popular "Little Yosemite" area of one of these parks. Although we continue to experience drought conditions here in California, it had just rained a bit and we were enjoying the small waterfalls and rushing waters flowing amongst the boulders so much that we decided that it was high time we returned to the real deal.  "Let's go to Yosemite," we said!  As luck would have it, Scott had a work holiday on Good Friday so we made it a date.  

We arrived in the park to gushing waterfalls. Lower Yosemite Falls, Yosemite National Park
