Yosemite.

Well I made it.

I am here in Yosemite. Yesterday my Uncle and I (who will be pictured later) took a hike up to the top of Yosemite Falls here in the valley. It is the tallest waterfall in North America. I will put a picture of that up here too. I have never made that big of a hike before. I think we were somewhere around 6,900 feet above sea level, and maybe 4,000 above the floor of the valley. The hike took 3 hours up and 2.5 hours down.

Everything here is so big and beautiful. It is mostly sunny all the time too. Something I will have to get used to. I plan on making a lot more awesome hikes here in Yosemite. The largest (and one I currently fear the most) is Half Dome. It is about a 12 hour round trip hike and is the essence of Yosemite. I will put some beautiful pictures I took of half dome at sunset soon.

Talk to you soon :]
