Glacier Point

This is the iconic view in Yosemite. You have to drive quite a bit to get here but it’s worth it. Here’s a partial list of what there is to see: Yosemite Falls, North Dome, Clouds Rest, Half Dome, Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall.

If you have a fear of heights or are prone to vertigo, I suggest that you don’t look over the edge. It’s over 3,000 feet straight down to the Valley.

The Incredible Valley

If you’ve never been to Yosemite National Park, try to go at least once in your life. Because I’m lucky enough to live only a few hours away, I’ve seen the park numerous times. It never gets old.

In the photo I’m looking up Yosemite Valley from the Tunnel View on the road to Glacier Point. On the left, you can see El Capitan, on the right, Bridalveil Fall. I think my head is blocking the view of Half Dome. That’s O.K. because I’m pretty good looking myself.

Family Love

I don’t get to see my father and brother as often as I would like. So, it was great to spend Father’s Day with both of them. We went out for a fabulous brunch at the Putah Creek Cafe in Winters, California and then on to visit my grandmother in Berkeley.

Oh, and did I mention that it’s the first day of my summer road trip with Dad?
