Yosemite

When hubby and I headed to the eastern Sierra over Memorial Day, I heard a tourist state that the waterfalls in Yosemite this year were incredible. Well, we stopped at Bridlevail Falls and I've never seen it with so much water. The spray at the top was blowing in the wind and we took the hike to the bottom of the falls. ***WARNING***If you do this, make sure you have a plastic bag or camera case for your camera! The spray is incredible! I didn't make it all the way and neither did hubby because of it. But, we got pretty close. One gal who made it all the way was covered with water!!! You could hear the falls all the way from the roadway. We saw some smaller waterfalls in Yosemite Valley and at the end of the day, we hiked all the way back to Yosemite Falls. Again, we've seen that fall before, but never like this! The Merced River (all of Yosemite's falls feed into it) was VERY full and running VERY fast!!! It was a perfect day for hiking and taking pics! I trudged around with two cameras dangling from my neck, while hubby had one on a monopod and two others! Here are a few pics from yesterday. The bottom two are from Glacier Point. We spent quite a bit of time there and ate lunch overlooking Half Dome. The top two are of Yosemite Falls. Look how the water has moved from the wind in the second photo! It was very windy down at the bottom of the falls and VERY wet!
