Yosemite NP revisited

The fall of 2014 we spent about  week in Yosemite National Park.  It was beautiful but being late in the season we saw no water coming over the many falls.  So we figured if we went back in the spring the snow melt would allow us to see actual water!  But once again there was very little snow and while there was water, locals said it was very little.  We still thought it was great.

We stayed in Lee Vining which is a small town on the eastern side of the park.  Rout 120 goes thru the park and is closed during the winter.  We arrive in Lee Vining on May 6th, a Monday, and 120 had just opened that day.  We spent Monday and Tuesday getting settled and catching up on laundry, bills and cleaning.  Wednesday was beautiful and we drove into the park.  From Lee Vining it is about an hour and 45 minutes along 120, a beautiful drive.

 Ice still on the lakes.  And frost on the information signs.










Bridal Veil falls was very interesting because the wind was blowing the stream of water back and forth.



Yosemite Falls was cool.  Last time we were there there was a stream of water about the size of a pencil.  A little more this time.

One of our first selfies!!  We are so cool.










Not sure if we will ever get back to Yosemite but it sure is grand!
