The crispy pine air. The roaring sounds of water running through the land. The grand rock formations that carve one of the most beautiful sceneries. We are in Yosemite.

First and foremost (found on hwy 40) is Tunnel View. 

& As your entering the valley now, you can see Bridal Veil fall. 

The Swinging bridge bring you views of the meadows, the Merced River and Yosemite falls. These spots are easily accessible, dog friendly and have their own parking lot! The trails inside the valley are also easy for kids.

El Capitan (below) I love the rock formation of this, it's so bold. 

On my second day here, I decided to hike the mist trail to Vernal Fall, Emerald Pools and Nevada Fall. It was pretty intense since I don't work out at all but very well worth it :) These artworks from Nature are beyond words.

Nevada Fall up the trail to go to the top

Turned around and came back the same trail and then ended the day and trip here,
"Gates of The Valley" :)

I can't fathom the words to describe this place or the happiness it brings me. I hope you enjoyed my trip in pictures. As always, seek adventure friends!

Dear friends,

Spring is here and although certain regions of California have become let’s say “tourist friendly”, other regions have not haha. It’s still randomly raining or snowing at some forests which make it hard for basic people like me to hike around. None the less, I’ll stop nagging and talk about my recent trip to Eldorado National Forest! Literally about an hour away from Sacramento, this forest is full of adventures and beauty that should not be secreted away. If you’re a local, you’ll probably remember Sly Park.

I was lucky enough to visit this forest last weekend, and below is a collection of my memory in JPG format from this trip.

On the side of the road, you will come across Bridal Veil Fall. Take a break from the drive, and let this moment sink in. It's worth  to sight see.

I have been yearning to see some forest fog, it's breathtaking to me. 

We actually found camping in desolation areas, which is my favorite type of camping.

This little sly park waterfall is actually man made! It is a very fun hike and easy for kids! 

Jenkinson Lake is a dream lake surrounded by pine trees and its serenity fills me within. 

I have tried to make this post countless times, but have been spending more time at work or doing schoolwork. It was time I feed my personal hobbies. I hope life is treating you all well, stay afloat. This world is ours, we must appreciate and take care of it (:

There's something sweet about seeing places.. 

Yosemite National Park is beyond amazing. It's unreal and extraordinary beautiful. Here are a few, I mean PLENTY of pictures from my recent trip.

The following pictures will be all of Yosemite Falls... but from different views. 

Yosemite Falls from the Swinging Bridge

You can actually hike up to the rocks next to the fall and the mist around it! Pictures just do not do it justice so I didn't post any... this time.  

The next set of pictures are at Sentinel/Cooks Meadows. This area is so surreal. As soon as i saw the open fields, I did the most rational thing I can think of.. spin around! 

And next are pictures of Half Dome from Cook's Meadow.

Woke up early in the morning just to see Bridal Veil Falls. She was worth it. 

Then went to Mist Trail to see Vernal Fall. 

Vernal Falls is the most magestic thing I have ever seen. As you're walking up mist trail, there's literally rainbows everywhere and as you're getting closer the mist is on your face and you can began to see the waterfall. 

Vernal Fall was my favorite. 

But... 

Rivers are nice too! The next pic is taken at the Merced River. (Which was right behind the Yosemite Chapel)

And at last, the stunning views from The Tunnel View. 

Yosemite National Park is beyond words. I felt like this was the perfect get away I needed. I get a sense of joy just remembering about this trip.

 I know there is SO MUCH MORE to see, so till next time Yosemite!
