Yosemite!

There's no way I can describe how beautiful Yosemite National Park is, and I only saw what you can view by road and paved trail. Plus there are still a few roads closed for the winter. Twice I was looking out at a spectacular view, only to realize there was an even better view if I just turned around and looked the other direction. It's a place that can make anyone feel small.

Yosemite is a little more dog friendly than Death Valley. It's limited, but there are some places to explore with the dog. Charley was positively giddy about getting down to the Merced River and the plentiful dried oak leaves to run and jump around in. 

El Capitan and Half Dome, with Bridalveil Falls just right of center.
You basically emerge from a tunnel to immediately see this view for the first time.

Yosemite Falls

Was driving out of Yosemite Valley, looking for a place along the river to lunch on leftover BBQ from last night. I stopped here because there was a pullout and an easy walk down to the river.
Surprise! Another gorgeous view of Bridalveil Falls.

Tonight & Friday night: Reno (Sands)
After that: ??? Not sure yet
