Checking In & Yosemite Tips

We apologize so much for being so quiet for a long time. Life, you know. Summer schools, jobs, and family trips. A lot has happened already, and a lot will be happening. But we'll do better in posting more stuff. For now, here's a pretty waterfall, Yosemite falls.

And here are some quick tips about visiting Yosemite National Park.

1. Stay at least 2 days/nights. There are so much to see and do!
2. Stay within the park. Staying outside costs time and gas, and parking is not guaranteed. We recommend Curry Village!
3. Stay hydrated, especially when hiking to any of the falls.
4. On that note, don't push yourself if you're not used to rigorous exercise. And some of the hikes are rigorous.
5. Walking sticks do help.
6. Make use of the free shuttle. They come often enough (usually every 5 minutes) and the drivers are very helpful.
7. Food is expensive, be aware.
8. Lots and lots of sunblock.
9. Visit Sentinel bridge in the late afternoon. When the sun is setting, the light hits Half Dome in just the perfect angle that snatches your breath away.
10. Stop and enjoy the views. They're amazing!
