Yosemite National Park is truly like heaven on earth. The views, waterfalls, mountains, and fresh air make this place unforgettable. Everything was beautiful and well maintained, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Also, for active duty military members and veterans with a Veteran ID, you can get a free annual pass for all national parks, which is an awesome benefit. Big shout out to the park rangers for doing an amazing job keeping the park safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone. Their hard work really shows.

Places like Yosemite Falls naturally inspire and create a draw for people to come experience it for themselves. The entire park is awe inspiring and a great reminder that we have an incredible Creator! God could have made earth simply and functional to meet our basic needs but He knew we need inspiration, encouragement and reminders that we have a great God! Yosemite is one of those incredible places!

Absolutely unreal. Standing this close to Yosemite Falls and feeling the mist while looking straight up at the granite walls is something you don’t forget. Easy walk from the valley, huge payoff, and one of the most iconic views in the park. Go when the falls are flowing strong — it’s next level.

Attention! This is NOT a easy trail, but you still can make it if it’s your first one. It was my first long trail and in a hard pathway. I had no idea it would be this hard, as you can see in the photos, the steep hills are hard to walk on, there was some trees on the way so I needed to jump them (scary as hell if you think you’re doing this beside of a cliff) and it’s a long road. It took me 3h30 to get up there and a lot of stops, I started my walking from the curry village and it was around 12km to get up there and more 8km going down. My water run out in the middle of the trail and I got some from the running water on the rocks (some specific point you can reach to it), I didn’t get sick and it was freshly at least! Be prepared for slippery rocks, watering, and wind on top of the trail (gets cold up there). It’s totally worth it, but bring enough food, be aware of EACH STEP, and take your time, do not rush yourself because of the others, the competition is only against you and your limits.

If you love nature then this a must visit on your bucket list. The towering mountains of different shapes , surrounded by magnificent giants trees that have been alive longer than several family generations. Makes you wonder what they have presence throughout time. The magnificent waterfalls cascading down. When you get hit with the mist, you feel alive again. And the rivers surrounding the valley. And to see a bear and its cubs running free in nature really captivates your heart !
