It has been remarked that if you only have time to see one park in the U.S.A. then it should be Yosemite.
I was fortunate enough to spend a little (too little) time there. Here are a few shots from that brief time.
Cheers all
Yosemite

Agree. It's unreal. We were up there many years ago for a few days cross country skiing. It. was. awesome! One morning a coyote was standing <10m away looking at us as we passed 
Reminds me I have to scan all my old pictures

I had the pleasure of making a couple of day-visits from Fresno last year, with a walk to Clouds Rest. Once we (I) got over the idea that a bear might be around the next bend it was a fantastic and thrilling experience. Here are a couple of photos from our walk.
