Yosemite National Park

Our first stop was to see the Yosemite Sugar Pine Railroad Vintage Shay engine number 10.  These were invented in 1880 and was used for logging.  This one no. 10 was built in 1928.
 The Museum that was there with the train and gift shop.

                   Our first look at Yosemite with it's vast mountains and many beautiful waterfalls.
 The river, rocks and bridges were spectacular.

                                               
      Another waterfall

There were a lot of people there in tents, Hotels ect. with rafting, fishing, hiking and just enjoying the beautiful sites.

     Elder Williams on the bridge across the River.  We met an LDS family from Hawaii that had stopped to talk to us.  That was fun to see members there.

This rock was AMAZING.  It looked like it came down from the top of the mountain and I talked this Mother and her child to stand by it so I could take a picture of the difference in size.  They were headed that way anyway.


 The falls were gorgeous.  There were so many of them.  The people had told us to go in the Spring so we could see the waterfalls, I'm glad we did.  It was a beautiful day to be in the mountains.  It reminded me of home.

This is Yosemite Falls and is one of the highest waterfalls in the world.  It's divided into the Great Upper Falls, a middle cascade and the Lower Fall.  They were so beautiful.  We had a wonderful P-Day.
