This is a new stop every season !

The time and season are here to explore the new destinations ...

Another destination that holds beauty and serenity in itself for the nature lovers and adventurers. The Yosemite National Park.






"Not just a great valley, but a shrine to human foresight, the strength of granite, the power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra." [Credits: www.nps.gov]

So if you love nature, Yosemite is for you !
If you love hiking, Yosemite is for you !
if you love adventure, Yosemite is for you !

Spread across almost 1200 sq miles of area, Yosemite is known for its beautiful waterfalls, ancient giant sequoias, wildlife, its beautiful views and also the granite walls that the rock climbers yearn to conquer. (We happened to catch a glimpse of a few of them during our visit :) )

PS: I lagged behind a bit (almost 2 years :P) due to some personal reasons but were able to have another visit to Yosemite in 2018 so will combine all our information here.

If you wish or want to visit then plan in advance for your stay. As we were going for the summers, we were going to camp and booked our site the day it opened for reservations, which was atlas 5 months in advance. Yes, you read it right so if you wish to camp then check the dates and availability well in advance. There are just a few campgrounds that offer the sites to be reserved BUT there are some that are first come first served as well so if you didn't get a reservation or want to try your luck, try those.

Don't get disheartened reading what I just wrote above. You have other options to look for. There are Lodges, Hotels/Motels available. In fact you can also find restaurants too.

Our trip 1 in 2017 was a camping trip and we were able to get a spot in the Upper Pines campground (thanks to my husband :) ) as we tried reserving the same time it opened on January 15th. It was a nice big corner campground with lots of a space that the kids used to have fun with their camp neighbor friends who happened to be twin boys their age. Had it for all 4 days so no moving around and camp set for the entire stay and all the time  you have is to yourself worshipping the valley.


The Valley



2018 happened to be a weekend trip where we managed to reserve a tent as were not fortunate enough to get a campsite reservation. This time we learnt that you have to be surely lucky to get that one. Inspite of two of us trying to book a site none of managed to get a hold of any.

But anyways I am ready to take you on two rides with purely different experiences. Are you ?
