Yosemite National Park, California

B. Hippo in front of El Capitan, possibly America's most famous rock.

B. Hippo looks out at Lower Yosemite Falls, one of many spectacular waterfalls found in the park. There sure are a lot of tourists in this waterfall! (you can see a few up by the base of the falls)

B. Hippo gazes at the panoramic views of the valley from Glacier Point. Perhaps sometime he'll return to give the Half Dome Summit Trail a go... for now it looks fantastic in the distance.

Though crowded, Yosemite National Park in California is definitely a place to see! Such outstanding beauty is found here, and though most of the falls are fed by snowmelt and dry later in the season, we still saw a little water. There's so much to see, this visit was only a taste. Perhaps we'll come back and do some hiking...
