Yosemite National Park - 1st Day

When we're going to enter Yosemite from the south entrance, we're stuck in one part of the road as shown in the following pictures. The reason being that the road has been blocked because of Rock Slide. It's really serious for the rock has cover up quite a distance.



Once we entered into Yosemite park, we're amazed by the nature of the park. Below are some pictures from the park. The last picture is a hotel inside Yosemite, which is called Ahwanee, name of an Indian tribe that used to stay in Yosemite before the Gold Rush era.






The following are some pictures of 2 of the few waterfalls that one could see in this park. Most of the waterfall are the result of snow melting on the top of the point during Spring. The first picture is called Bridalveil fall, the second picture is called Yosemite Fall, and the last picture is the lower part of Yosemite Fall as seen in the second picture.





During our walk back to our lodge, as shown in the pictures below, we encountered a hard-working deer (claimed by my colleague, because it's Sunday) that crossing the road as shown in the following picture.




In Yosemite, all animals are still wild. So, 1 may encounter Beer, Deer, Mountain Lion, Squirrel, etc. They have instruction and warning regarding the wild animal like the Mountain Lion, which can be dangerous at some point.
