Happy Thanksgiving to all you Yosemite Lovers!
I am so thankful for all that I have, but in regards to Yosemite, here's my list!
I am thankful for having visted Yosemite in all 4 Seasons this year (February, June, Sept, Oct)
I am thankful that I saw Yosemite in a state of peace (very few tourists) in February. What magnificent and powerful silence!
I am thankful that I saw the falls in June in their full glory. No words can describe the beauty and awe that they provided for all.
I am thankful I was able to take my 71 year old Mother and 73 year old Aunt for their first visit in September. The look on their faces at Glacier Point is something I will treasure forever.
I am thankful that I was also able to take my sister there on her 50th birthday for my first backcountry hike (Glen Aulin, aka Glen "AWESOME"
. We placed 3rd in the Best Yosemite "High Five" contest!
I am thankful I saw my first bear on the Taft Point/Sentinel Dome Trail (Oct) and that it briefly said hello and scampered off before I passed out!
I am thankful that I discovered this board, the resources here are wonderful people that I feel understand the awe and obsession that Yosemite holds upon those who visit this great space.
Many blessing to each of you.
