Yosemite Park
After being in San Benito for two days it was time to return to Inyo County to finish filming locations. It turns out that the best way to get back to where we were was to go through Yosemite National Park, and since neither Justin nor I had ever been there before, we figured that it would be fun to make a day of it.
The park is one of the oldest National Parks in America; it was founded as a National Scenic Preserve before the Park Service was even established. Yosemite is known for its majestic mountains, spectacular waterfalls, and diverse flora and fauna, also this time of year there is still snow at many of the higher elevations. We took the Tioga Rd. out of the park. This road is seasonally closed do to the ice pack, and only opened a week ago to visitors. So without further to-do, on to the pictures.
Yosemite Falls, the fifth highest waterfall in the WORLD.

Me in the Meadow
Merced River
I like lizards….
and moss.
We decided to visit the least visited spot in the park, the cemetery
And then Justin decided to swim in one of the waterfalls,
as you can tell by the look on his face, it was EXTREMELY cold.
But what would one expect, it IS melted glacier?
After spending the whole day there, it was time to head out,
but not before stopping to photograph the herd of deer grazing in the meadow.
Good-bye Yosemite National Park, I hardly knew thee.
