Yosemite in the spring! And a water rescue!
To beat the crowds we visited Yosemite National Park this spring. We were pleasantly surprised to see rushing waterfalls, spring flowers and very pleasant temperatures!There were some roads closed from winter and the Mariposa Grove was closed due to an unexpected storm in January that produced 70-100mph winds. With that storm, the park lost 25 mature giant sequoias! The storm damaged trails, boardwalks and other facilities in the Mariposa Grove area. The park is still cleaning up from that wind event.El Capitan draws rock climbers so bold to climb a 3000’ granite wall and many even sleep in climbing tents…
