I love those falls and those high, flat cliff faces. That's some nice country there.

Those are all views from inside the Yosemite valley. (1st four shots)

Thanx for posting the pics!!!!
Clicked the thread link enjoying a quite and lazy morning to be thrown down memory lane. As a child my parents loaded us on planes or into motor homes to travel the parks as the big family trip every summer. Haven't thought about the Cali trip in a long time. The 1/2 dome shot is great! (as are the rest)

Ya, it took me back too. I think it must have been 20yrs since I was there last. I don't have memories of most of the views so it was great going back. Would you believe that it can take up to 2hrs to get into the park(traffic...) on a busy weekend now-a-days?

Sure can! We have been trying to follow our best memories from our own childhood raising our kids. Looked into driving a Cali coast trip last spring to hit Yosemite Valley with the spring run off for the best waterfall viewing. haha 3-4hr forecast on possible park entry and bumper to bumper inside. Good luck on trying to schedule any overnight reservations.

Beautiful pictures. The Rockies are the reason why I love Colorado, and will die here an old man lol. Later this summer when most of the snow melts off trail ridge road here I'll have to get some pictures up.
