Took us about 3 hrs to reach Yosemite from Fresno.

We checked into our night accomodation at Evergreen Lodge

A nice cabin lodge, spacious with a small gas fireplace, surrounded by Stanislaus National Forest, and near the entrance of Hetch Hetchy Dam.

The draw of Yosemite~
The grand granite rocks, deep valleys, free-flowing waterfalls, crystal-clear river and vast wilderness... Indeed a nature's paradise!
View of Half Dome from Sentinel's Bridge
Bridal Veil - One

Lunch at Ahwahnee Hotel, known for its magnificent facade and architecture.
The Dinning Room looks really grand with it's super high ceiling - 34 foot with large sugar pine trestles and ceilin gto floor windows.




Nice patio at Ahwanee


It was near winter, and some of the roads could be closed due to snow. However, we are lucky that Glacier point is still open for sunset at half dome.
