Yosemite National Park - 2nd Day

The next day, we went for a short hiking in Yosemite. The place that we're going is Mirror Lake. It's a lake that one can see a beautiful reflection of the Half Dome (one of the peak). Too back I only have my Nokia camera phone, otherwise I would have try to take some nice pictures at the lake. Here's some pictures of mirror lake.




Then, we went back to the lodge to check out. After that, we went to visit the Visitor Center for a short movie that describe about the history of the discovery and forming of Yosemite. Inside there, they have a 3D model of the whole Yosemite, as shown in the following pictures.



Then, we went up to this Glacier Point, which is a place up high above that one could see the whole Yosemite. Here, one could see the Half Dome, North Dome, El Capito, Nevada Fall, Yosemite Fall, etc. It's really awesome to see how God has created this place (the fact said that Yosemite was formed in over millions of year, of which I believed that it's the other way - 40 days heavy downpour during Genesis?) Here's some pictures of Yosemite taken from Glacier Point.







Then, we visited this place in Yosemite called Mariposa Grove, where one could see the giant Sequoia tree. Unfortunately, my Nokia phone ran out of battery, so I'm not able to take a nice shot of the Grizzle giant sequoia tree. Sequoia is the tree that produce redwood. And, it's because of these giant Sequoia trees that started the foundation to make Yosemite a national park, because of one gold miner who spent 1 day walking in this area and discovered these big trees.
